These maximum port restrictions are fixed for each application and do not
change if, for example, you only install three of the five services.
Network Connectivity
This section describes the network connectivity requirements for the
following three Media Application Server platforms:
•
"IBM x Series 336 network connectivity" (page 68)
•
"IBM x Series 335 network connectivity" (page 69)
•
"IBM eServer BladeCenter and BladeCenter T network connectivity"
(page 69)
Connect the MAS server only to Ethernet switches. Nortel recommends that
you do not use hubs because they operate in half duplex mode only.
IBM xSeries 336 network connectivity
The IBM xSeries 336 network interface MUST operate at 100 Mbps and full
duplex to ensure quality and throughput. By default the Media Application
Server is configured to autonegotiate. The connecting Ethernet switch must
also be configured to autonegotiate or significant packet losses resulting
in poor voice quality occur. If the interfaces must be manually forced, both
the Media Application Server and the connecting Ethernet switch should be
forced to 100 Mbps Full duplex. This can be achieved by configuring both
the switch and the interface to 100 Mbps full duplex. If only one side (switch
or interface) is configured autonegotiate and the other configured to 100
Mbps full duplex, there is a duplex mismatch and the interface is forced to
operate at half duplex. The initial factory setting for the server is auto. Nortel
recommends that you connect the MAS server only to Ethernet switches;
hubs should not be used because they only operate in half duplex.
To increase reliability, both Ethernet interfaces of a server are used in the
current release for connection to two separate switches. Furthermore,
depending upon the service offered, additional servers may be added to
achieve a higher degree of service availability.
To check that it is operating at 100 Mbps full duplex you must open the
Event Viewer (from the MAS management console) and locate the following
system log that indicates the current speed of the Broadcom interface. The
log is from source Blfm, category None, event 9:
