SFTP network configuration requirements
The SFTP option requires an operational ELAN network because the backup and recovery of data must use the ELAN interface. Nortel recommends the destination SFTP server reside on the same ELAN network as the source SFTP server. If the destination SFTP server resides outside the subnet of the source SFTP server, use one of the two options shown in Table 12 "SFTP network configuration requirements" (page 144).

1The router connecting the two subnets must be configured to allow pings to pass through. This ensures there is a valid data path between the two subnets
If the default gateway is set to the TLAN interface gateway, a routing entry is required to ensure that all ELAN data uses only the ELAN NIC. Use the CLI command routeconfig to add the routing entry. An example of the routeconfig command is as follows:
routeconfig add
2On the source server set the ELAN interface gateway as the default gateway.
