Changing processor ethernet interface

[sc00tie]

What are the consequneces if I change the processor ethernet interface from CNA to corporate Lan under the configure services option. I currently have an S8400 that is attached to the ipsi board with the little cross over cable and I designated that as cna with the default addresse of 198.152.254.201(s8400) and 198.152.254.202(ipsi). The reason why I am asking this is because I am configuring an S8300 LSP that is instructed to register with ip address 192.168.16.254(clan mainsite) and sync with PE port, but from my limited understanding the PE port presently is joined to the ipsi????

The usual place to assign the PE interface is the "Corporate LAN", which makes it like a "Super CLAN" card (1700 IP endpoints, equivilant of 4 CLANs)

If you have CN-A setup, and are using that for the IPSI, you won't have any issue. With the little short crossover cable, you couldn't get any IP endpoint to try and register on that network anyway, now could you.

BTW, I would use a private IP address such as the 192.168.X.X or a 10.X.X.X, IPs for the IPSI/CN-A interface, no reason to use those AVAYA Defaults... if you look them up, they are actually owned by AVAYA/Lucent (they are their public IPs)
