Creating an IP Host for Voice Services on a VDSL2 Card
This topic describes how to configure an IP host that defines how a VDSL2 card obtains an
IP address for communication and specifies the voice service VLAN. (The definition
references a system default tag action that specifies the classifying and marking of packets
from the subscriber port into the service VLAN specified in the IP host.)
Each VDSL2 card supports one voice service type, either SIP or TDM gateway or H.248
gateway. Therefore, a VDSL2 card supports a maximum of one IP host for voice services.
Configuration guidelines
For TDM Gateway services, the E-Series allows operators to use the C7 internal DHCP
server to provide IP addresses for VDSL2 VoIP hosts, or use an external DHCP server
option.
To provision the IP Host for a DHCP host protocol configuration, you must select
dhcp
for the Host Protocol parameter. Any previously assigned Static IP, Static IP Mask, and
Static IP Gateway addresses are ignored, yet preserved. The DHCP host configuration
occurs when the first POTS port is configured.
To provision the IP Host for a Static protocol configuration, you must select
static
for
the Host Protocol parameter, and then enter the Static IP, Static IP Mask, and Static IP
Gateway addresses.
Note:
When the IP Host protocol is changed from Static to Dynamic at the VDSL line
card level, the applied SIP Gateway Profile DNS entries must be populated with zero
entries (0.0.0.0).
The static IP gateway and subnet mask attribute are only required when static IP
addresses are in use.
The gateway address and subtending IP addresses must belong to the same subnet, as
indicated by the mask.
The ‘Host Name’ parameter must be configured with a fully qualified domain name.
The IP Host object sets the card IP address, indicates the output service VLAN tag, and
references a system-default service tag action (LcPotsSvcTagAction) that specifies the
traffic as untagged and assigns a P-bit value that maps to the Expedited Forwarding CoS
(CoS 4 or P-bit 5, 6, or 7).
The VLAN indicated in the IP Host must already be created on the E-Series and at the
time of the IP Host creation, the VDSL2 card is associated to the VLAN membership.
When viewing the VLAN Associations, this association appears as "dsl-svc."
