MXe AMC access via the WAN port

[joebrown123]

I have an MXe III on the latest MCD 6 on a customer's site that can't give us access to the AMC from the voice vlan.

Can I use the wan port as an alternative route out???

I have plugged the wan port into a dedicated dsl router and it has an ip address, mask and gateway that I know will allow access to the AMC.

Can I tell the system to use that route rather than the local gateway???

Is this for a license update?
I thought MCD 6.0 now let you use Software Installer to update licensing without requiring a reboot.

Yes it does which is fine while on site but I was trying to do it so we can license remotely.

If I recall you change the MXe IP gateway address to internal L2 ip address. This makes the Mxe as the router and utilise the WAN port.

I have read that but this 1 controller is part of a cluster and the other 3 systems are on different subnets so without the LAN gateway they wouldn't route to each other.

I was hoping to setup the wan port on this controller to sync with the amc and set it as the dlm for the cluster.

I have licensed it with the software installer tool but it failed to set it as the dlm even though it retrieved the licenses for the GARID. This was confirmed by the last (furst and only) sync on the AMC. It didmive me access to the additional form you would expect the dlm to have (sorry forgot what it is) and I have a license violation alarm but in the application group license form dlm is set to no. Try to enable it and it tries to sync with the AMC.

Not sure what I've done but it's screwed something up. Waiting on a response from Mitel tech support now. I'm pretty sure if I could get the controller to sync all will be sorted but that just isn't going to happen on this vlan hence the reason for trying to use the wan port.

Never used the form myself but what about the IP routing form under LAN/WAN setting in the 3300? It says that you can create routes to other networks that will use the default gateway and if a route is not there it will use the WAN port. Could you define the routes to the other 3300's in your cluster and then use the WAN port to go to the AMC?

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.
