The OpenScape 4000 SoftGate offers the following LAN interfaces:
- IPDA LAN
-
For connecting to the OpenScape 4000 host system.
- Management LAN
-
The feature "Separate LAN Connectivity for Administration and Voice
Over IP" is supported. The Voice LAN can now be split fully from the
Management LAN.
- WAN
-
The OpenScape 4000 SoftGate offers a WAN interface to the Internet.
- Signaling Survivability
-
A LAN interface for signaling survivability is supported.
- XLINK
-
The XLINK interface is used for OpenScape Access/Branch and RG 8350
A.
The only official way to configure/reconfigure LAN interfaces is using
the firstinstall XML file. This includes Bitrate, Bond, VLAN and IP configuration.
The XML file is used during first installation or when calling the Recovery
Tool. For further details please refer to the documentation “OpenScape
4000, Installation, Configuration and Migration, Installation Guide”.
INFO:
Should different VLANs be required for individual vSTMI boards
of the SoftGate, then the SoftGate LAN interface must be selected as
eth<n> or bond<n>. Afterwards any appropriate LAN interface
tagging must be configured under the AMO interface. The SoftGate LAN
interface can be selected in either the Portal (SoftGate LAN Wizard)
or through XML configuration. If the requirement is that all traffic
from the SoftGate is used within the same VLAN, it is also possible to
select vlan<n> as the SoftGate interface. No AMO VLAN configuration
is required either for this second use case, but the prerequisite is
the VLAN must be specified as an interface in the XML installation file.
