MiVB SMBC Controller with Embedded MBG Blade

[danramirez]

Hi Gents,

I am confused with the IP addresses and network set up for the SMBC Controller when using the embedded MBG.

For the ETH1 interface, shall we use a local IP address behind the customer firewall, or shall we assign a public/external IP address from the ISP?

Documentation is confusing:

From document "MiVoice Business Rel 10.0 Core I&M Update Course":

Page 42:

Eth1
- Always used to connect to the ISP.
- One Static External IP Address from the ISP for the MBG WAN Port.
- At initial installation, no IP Address assigned to Eth1.
- The MBG requires two IP Addresses: one is for the WAN connection to the ISP, and one is for the LAN as described above.

Then Page 51 says: The MBG uses a WAN IP Address programmed in MSL. This WAN connection is behind the Customer Firewall and connected directly to the Internet via an ISP Router..

Above is also confusing as it says WAN connection behind a customer firewall and connected directly to the internet.

Is it directly connected or behind thecustomer firewall?

Please let me know what you understand form documentation.

Thank you, Regards,

Daniel

That would be an additional internal address
