Chapter 6: IP interface configuration
This chapter covers the following tasks:
l
Connecting to the IPSIs on page 65
l
IPSI address configuration on page 65
l
Programming the IPSI for static addressing on page 66
l
Setting the VLAN and diffserv parameters on page 68
l
Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing on page 70
At a minimum, you must program and connect to the reference TN2312BP IP Server Interface
(IPSI) so that the system does not enter No License Mode. Once you connect the IPSIs to the
control network, the IPSIs might generate an alarm if the firmware is not the most current. The
alarm stops automatically once you upgrade the IPSI firmware.
Connecting to the IPSIs
Connect CAT5 cables from the IPSI circuit packs to the dedicated control network or to the
customer LAN.
IPSI address configuration
The IPSI circuit pack receives an IP address:
l
Statically with static IP addressing, if the control network is nondedicated (public) through
the customer network.
l
Dynamically with dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), if the control network is
dedicated (private).

sequences in advance.
Perform one of the following tasks depending on whether you use static or dynamic addressing:
