Avaya Media Gateway G700 User Manual

This section describes how to assign the IP addresses and IP routes to the G700 Media 
Gateway and its components. The IP addresses should be available to you on the IP 
Addressing Planning Form. The command arguments you will be supplying include:

●

VLAN — Virtual Local Area Network: a defined network segment that allows users on that 
segment to have priority services in sharing information with each other. 

If the network is not using VLANs, the VLAN should be 1. Otherwise, use the VLAN 
numbers indicated in your planning forms. The G700 Media Gateway should be assigned 
the same VLAN as the VLAN to which the Ethernet ports are connected. The P330 stack 
processor might or might not be assigned to the customer’s network management VLAN.

●

IP address — the unique identifier assigned to an entity on the customer LAN.

●

Netmask — the subnet mask for the customer’s LAN segment.

●

Destination — distant networks to which the IP route command needs to send packets. 

Usually generalized to 0.0.0.0 for networks other than the local segment.

●

default gateway — the gateway the ip route command specifies to get to the distant 
networks.
