About S8500 LSP mode

Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, you can configure the S8500 as a local survivable processor (LSP), and, the S8500 can be the primary controller for an IP network with port networks. This new functionality is enabled by allowing H.248 gateways and H.323 endpoints to use the Processor Ethernet (PE) interface of the S8500 instead of a C-LAN interface to register with the S8500.

Table 5 lists the possible uses of the PE interface for an S8500 LSP.
