Communication Manager uses node names to reference IP addresses throughout the system. Use the IP Node Names screen to assign node names and IP addresses to each node in the network with which this switch communicates through IP connections. The Node Names screen must be administered on each node in an IP network.

An IP node name can be any of these:

Enter the Messaging name and IP address on the Messaging Node Names screen. Enter data for all other node types on the IP Node Names screen.

For H.323 connections, each Avaya Aura® Media Server IP Address on the local switch must also be assigned a node name and IP address on the IP Node Names screen.

Assign the node names and IP addresses in the network in a logical and consistent manner from the point of view of the network. Assign the names and addresses in the planning stages of the network. The names and addresses are available from the Avaya Support website at http://support.avaya.com.

Within the survivable Edge topology, the Local Survivable Processor (LSP) node names IP addresses are not the real IP addresses of the unreachable LSPs. Instead, they are local IP addresses assigned on main Communication Manager to access the remote servers. These IP addresses could be local IP's on the same subnetwork as the PROCR interface or loopback addresses internal to the Communication Manager server.
