When you configure the Layer 2 Switch, ensure that you do the following:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Layer 2 switch on your
network and left Gigabit port on the MXe Server.
2. Program the Layer 2 switch with the appropriate settings (see
“Network Configuration Examples” on page 301 for more information).
3. See your IT administrator for information to set up and program a
DHCP server.
The MXe Server doesn’t have an internal DHCP server, so you
must use an external DHCP server.
Tip: Refer to the preceding initial setup procedures for detailed instructions
on how to reset the system defaults and then reprogram new system IP
addresses.
Tip: Typically, in a VLAN environment, an access port is used to connect the
Layer 2 switch to the controller, and trunk ports to connect the Layer 2 switch
to the IP Phones.
Tip: IP trunks cannot work through the WAN port.
Tip: See “Configuring a Windows 2000 DHCP Server (prior to Release 7.0)”
on page 397 for information on programming 3300 ICP DHCP settings on a
Windows 2000 DHCP server.
