Set the PBX IP address

Overlay 117 is used to configure, diagnose, and maintain IP network interface addresse(s) and functions.
Typing a question mark (?) at the => prompt gives an extensive listing of all the available commands.

• Single-Core, Standard Availability (SA) systems (eg, Option 51C) have one primary IP address.
• Dual-Core, High Availability (HA) systems have a primary ACTIVE, and a secondary INACTIVE IP address.
  When a core is ACTIVE, it uses the primary address; when INACTIVE (STDBY), it uses the secondary address.
• High Availability (HA) systems also have a direct HSP (High Speed Pipe) connection between both cores.
  The HSP is 'plug-and-play'. Once connected, it will immediately start looking for a heartbeat from the other core.
• If the PBX (ELAN) connects to a WAN (eg, for remote administration), a gateway ROUTE IP must also be set.

To set the PBX (ELAN) IP address:

Create a new host (where NAME is a label)

LD 117
=> NEW HOST <NAME> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

eg: NEW HOST PRIMARY_ENET 10.10.10.5
    NEW HOST SECONDARY_ENET 10.10.10.6 (HA only: IP address of the 'inactive' core)

Assign the new host to the Primary IP address

LD 117
=> CHG ELNK ACTIVE <NAME>
=> CHG ELNK INACTIVE <NAME>

eg: CHG ELNK ACTIVE PRIMARY_ENET
    CHG ELNK INACTIVE SECONDARY_ENET (HA only)

Set the subnet mask:

LD 117
=> CHG MASK xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Set the gateway:

LD 117
=> NEW ROUTE xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

eg: NEW ROUTE 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.254

Update the database:

LD 117
=> UPDATE DBS

Enable the ELNK (you must toggle it to enable any changes):

LD 137
. DIS ELNK
OK
. ENL ELNK
OK

Verify the ENLK:

LD 137
. STAT ENLK
ENABLED

Verify the ELAN

LD 48
. STAT ELAN
ELAN DISABLED
. ENL ELAN
OK

Verify the host, subnet, and gateway:

LD 117
=> PRT HOST
:
=> PRT MASK
:
=> PRT ROUTE

Try and PING things:

LD 117
=> PING xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The Call server is on the ELAN, you cannot ping the TLAN from it.

TTY Output:

LD 117

ACTIVE   ETHERNET: "PRIMARY_ENET" "10.10.10.5"         IP address of core when 'active'
INACTIVE ETHERNET: "SECONDARY_ENET" "10.10.10.6"       IP address of core when 'inactive'
OK
