This chapter describes the procedure to configure IP interfaces.
When you click on the IP Interface tab, you see two subtabs, General and IP Services. You change your IP Interfaces from the IP Interface subtabs.
x component.
Each IP Interface you create will have a logical name, an IP Address or a host name or both, and a network identifier (A, B, C, or D).
 | Caution The IP Network identifier is not to be confused with the five IP Address classes. |
The telephony controller Ethernet card defaults to hme0. The IP Interface tab appears when you select either a TPx component or an access server on the Sites tab. The access server serves as an endpoint for both signal paths and traffic paths.
The General subtab displays when you click on the IP Interface tab. The prompt directs you to choose an IP interface. (See Figure 9-1.)
When you right-click in an empty area in this tab, a popup menu appears. (See Figure 9-2.)
When you create an IP Interface, it must be associated with a logical IP network. Up to four logical networks are supported. The default is A.
x component, assign the IP Interface using the drop-down list of IP Network choices (A, B, C, and D).
When signal channels are created, IP addresses and ports will be matched only with those residing on the same logical network.
If you choose to add an interface, a dialog box appears. You must enter a logical name and IP Address. The default network identifier is A. (See Figure 9-3.)
The Ethernet card acts as the default management interface and must be assigned an IP address. This is defined on the initial TPx creation screen and is the IP Interface used for ASN, SNMP, and Failover services. The logical names for additional interfaces start at hme1 and continue sequentially (hme2, hme3, and so on).
When you click on Modify IP Interface, a dialog box similar to the Add IP Interface box appears. It contains the information for the IP Interface you selected to modify.
When you click on Remove IP Interface, a confirmation dialog box appears with a prompt for you to confirm the action.
Here you can add, modify, or remove IP services for the selected access server. (See Figure 9-4)
The following default services are assigned to hme0:
Right-click in an empty area outside the dialog box to bring up a popup menu.
As services are added, they refer to the IP Interface's logical name.
A channel controller (and RLM for NAS) is set up when an access server traffic path is assigned to a signal path. Any associated properties are defaults and cannot be modified. (See Figure 9-5.)
The Cisco Software Release 4 telephony controller configuration tool associates IP signaling ports with those on any connected access server to create signal channels. These signal channels are incorporated into a TransPath-access server signal path when you build a flat file configuration. The access server bearer channels must have been used in a traffic path for that TransPath and the IP/Port pairs must be on the same IP network.
When you click on Remove IP Service, a confirmation dialog box appears. (See Figure 9-6)
