Ipo 500 V2 9.1

[Aldridge85]

Hi guys

Slowly getting my head around Avaya but still playing catch up in terms of networking. I just wondered how you guys plan a system install that has the following;

Ipo V2 9.1
UC module V2
40 IP phones
Gamma SIP trunks
Xima call logging

Would you have Lan 1 as the data and Lan 2 for IP phones and SIP trunks? Do you NAT your SIP trunks?

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I would turn on DHCP for LAN 2 and use it to support the IP phones. When you power up the phones they will automatically discover the IPO and then simply prompt you for User/Pswd - no other network configuration of the phone is required. Have done this many times and it works great.

The Xima server should be on LAN 1 along with the PC that will host Manager (could be the same PC), that way you can administer both the IPO and Xima server with the same PC.

Never done SIP trunks before as they are not that common in Canada so good luck with that. A lot of the more well known SIP providers would be able to supply you with an IPO specific document that tells you exactly how to configure the IPO for their trunks. I would try to find a SIP provider that has been tested and verified by Avaya already.

yes
lan1 for the customer Data & lan 2 for IP Handsets & sip is a good start.

NAT of some sort will be needed on lan2 because the IPO should NEVER be given a public IP Address

depending on the sip provider you may be forced to configure some port forwarding to the IPO, if so ensure the router restrict this to only traffic from your sip providers known addresses to reduce the chances of hacking. an SBC should be considered in these cases.




Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear

Thank you Nortel4Ever and IPGuru for your replies. That's helped me out a lot. Cheers guys.

With a system of that size are you supplying the POE switch? If so you can configure ADAC with a different voice VLAN that would take care of everything using the LAN 1 port of the IPO. That way you can leave your LAN 2 solely for you SIP traffic to the provider. In my opinion it makes trouble shooting easier if the customer ever comes back with having provider issues (god forbid)...

As no one else has said it I will. I would also drop the UCM and go App Server.

I would set up as follows

If we are supplying dedicated POE switches just for the phones then I would do data and SIP via LAN 1 and phones via LAN 2 (I usually stick SIP on the data port purely because its usually the same connectivity)
If we are using one switch for phones and PCs I would have everything going through LAN1, this would be on a single voice VLAN configured at firewall level.
