About S8500 LSP mode

Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, you can configure the S8500 as a local
survivable processor (LSP), and, the S8500 can be the primary controller for an IP network with
port networks. This new functionality is enabled by allowing H.248 gateways and H.323
endpoints to use the Processor Ethernet (PE) interface of the S8500 instead of a C-LAN
interface to register with the S8500.

Table 5

lists the possible uses of the PE interface for an S8500 LSP.

Administration needed

Registration

The PE interface is
always enabled for
registration.

No. The Communication Manager software
automatically enables the use of the PE
interface for registration.

H.248 gateway
registration

H.248 gateway
registration is enabled by
default.

No. The H.248 gateway enabled field on the
ip-interface procr form defaults to yes on an
LSP. To temporarily disable H.248 registration
on the LSP, you can change the ip-interfaces
procr form on the LSP. Any change that you
perform on the LSP is lost when the LSP
receives a file sync from the main server. After
a file sync H.248 gateway registration will
default to yes.

H.323 endpoint
registration

H.323 endpoint
registration is enabled by
default.

Adjunct
connectivity

Adjunct connectivity is
enabled by default.

Yes. You must perform adjunct administration
for the LSP on the main server.
