Chapter 6: IP interface configuration

IPSI address configuration

The IPSI circuit pack receives an IP address:

Statically with static IP addressing, if the control network is nondedicated (public) through the customer network.

Dynamically with dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), if the control network is dedicated (private).

Note:

To program DHCP addressing, you must complete certain sequences within a predetermined time-out interval. Avaya recommends that you read the following procedure completely before you start so that you are familiar with these sequences in advance.

Perform one of the following tasks depending on whether you use static or dynamic addressing:

! Important:

If an IPSI is in a port network that is backed up with the Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS) option you must use static addressing for the ESS to provide service to the port network.
