Use the Network Configuration page to configure the IP-related settings for the server.
Note:
Some of the changes made on the Network Configuration page can affect the settings on other pages under Server Configuration. Make sure that all the pages under Server Configuration have the proper and related configuration information.
Use the Network Configuration page to configure or view the settings for the hostname, alias Host Name, DNS domain name, DNS search list, DNS IP addresses, server ID, and default gateway.
If the configuration setting for a field is blank, you can configure that setting from the Network Configuration page.
If the configuration setting for a field is already obtained from an external source, such as Avaya Aura® System Manager Solution Deployment Manager, that field is view-only.
If you want to change the configuration setting obtained from an external source, you must navigate to the external source, such as Avaya Aura® System Manager Solution Deployment Manager used to configure the settings.
You can also configure the IP-related settings for each Ethernet port to determine how each Ethernet port is to be used (functional assignment). Typically, you can configure an Ethernet port without a functional assignment. However, any Ethernet port intended for use with Communication Manager must be assigned the correct functional assignment. Make sure that the Ethernet port settings in the Network Configuration page match with the physical connections to the Ethernet ports. Ethernet ports can be used for multiple purposes, except for the service's laptop port. However, currently there is no laptop service port within Communication Manager.
The number of entries for the Ethernet ports in the Network Configuration page corresponds with the number of Network Interface Cards (NICs) the server has.
To activate the new settings in the server, you must restart Communication Manager. Make sure that you restart Communication Manager only after configuring the complete settings of the server. Too many restarts can escalate to a full Communication Manager reboot.
Important:
The IPv6 Address field is limited to a specific customer set and not for general use.
