Appendix
Network configuration for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) data backup
Use the guidelines in this appendix to assist in data backup to an SFTP server. The section “Network configuration” (page 143) provides details on network requirements and the section “SFTP logon” (page 143) provides SFTP logon details. The section “SFTP network configuration requirements” (page 144) provides specific Embedded Local Area Network (ELAN) and Telephony Local Area Network (TLAN) requirements for SFTP network configuration.
Network configuration
The network must be configured correctly for data backup to an SFTP server. In order to configure the network you must understand the difference between the ELAN and the TLAN. The ELAN and TLAN are defined as follows:
•ELAN - The ELAN is a secure local area network. The scope of this network is limited to one subnet or node; however the scope of the ELAN network can be expanded to cover multiple nodes with advanced router (data path) configurations.
•TLAN - The TLAN spans the entire enterprise network. Every node on the TLAN has access to every other node.
Note: The definitions of ELAN and TLAN are a subset of the definitions provided in the voice media gateway cards section of IP Line Fundamentals
SFTP logon
Data backup to an SFTP server requires a user logon, password, and path to access the SFTP server storage. The user logon can contain a maximum of 32 characters comprised of lower and upper case letters,
