Important:
  • When using SSL or VPN is configured on the M1 interface, the IP address associated with the M1 interface will need outbound internet access. The M1 interface requires outbound internet access to initiate connectivity with the Avaya VPN Gateway (AVG) server. M1 is the management interface that is the required interface for SSL or VPN.

  • All the self-signed certificate fields are applicable only on the management interface, for communication with the user interface and with the Avaya Aura® components. The values for self signed certificate are optional, if you will not provide any value then certificate will be generated by using the default values of the fields.

Note:

For security reasons for Voice Over IP (VoIP) systems, segment the data or data management network from the voice network. For Avaya SBC deployments, segmentation means configuring the Management Interface (M1) on a separate subnet from the subnet used for the Voice Interfaces (A1, A2, B1, and B2). Avoid placing M1 IP address on a PBX core network. For more information about this recommendation, see
