Network Regions 1

[EPalle]

Hi,

We have the following network region setup:

IP ADDRESS MAPPING

Emergency
Subnet Location
From IP Address (To IP Address or Mask) Region VLAN Extension
192.168.32 .1 192.168.39 .254 2 n
192.168.40 .1 192.168.46 .254 1 n
192.168.48 .1 192.168.52 .254 3 n

When I make a call between an Avaya hardphone (ext 1127) to an Avaya IP Softphone (oneX, extension 2228) I see the following (all phones are in the same region):
IPaddress 1127: 192.168.36.55
IPaddress 2228: 192.168.36.23

time data

09:24:25 active station 1127 cid 0x23f
09:24:25 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/1 192.168.36.55:2314 192.168.35.2:2084
09:24:31 dial 2228
09:24:31 ring station 2228 cid 0x23f
09:24:31 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/1 192.168.36.23:2048 192.168.35.2:2072
09:24:35 active station 2228 cid 0x23f
09:24:35 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/2 192.168.36.55:2314 192.168.36.23:2048
09:24:35 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/2 192.168.36.23:2048 192.168.36.55:2314
09:24:57 idle station 1127 cid 0x23f

As you can see, the trace shows that 35.2 is in region 1 (see line at 09:24:25). How is this possible??
According to the network-region-map it should be region 2.

We have an 8300 (G450) with IPaddress: 192.168.43.1.
The G450 has IPaddress: 192.168.43.2
Each location (or Region) has his own G450.
The G450 in Region 2 is 192.168.35.2.

So the call is kept local but the system thinks that the G450 is placed in Region 1 while actually he is in Region 2.
Or is this because the G450 is linked to the G450 with the 8300??

And sometimes (while setting up the same testcall) the dialtone is send from the 8300:
09:49:51 active station 1127 cid 0x27d
09:49:51 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/1 192.168.36.55:2314 192.168.43.2:2574
09:49:53 dial 2228
09:49:53 ring station 2228 cid 0x27d
09:49:53 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/1 192.168.36.23:2048 192.168.43.2:2548
09:49:55 active station 2228 cid 0x27d
09:49:55 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/2 192.168.36.55:2314 192.168.36.23:2048
09:49:55 G711A ssff ps:20 rn:2/2 192.168.36.23:2048 192.168.36.55:2314

Any idea why this happens???
We would like to keep all traffic local. And it is strange that sometimes the systems connects to the local G450 and sometimes uses a remote G450 (with CPU).
The local G450 holds the local trunk and analog boards.

What is at 192.168.35.2?
Could that be your local voip?

 

[EPalle]

35.2 is the Ip of the G450 in the location.
This G450 holds only a BRI card (for local trunking) and a Analog card (for some fax machines).
The phones I use in the test are in the .36.xx range and in the same location as the G450

 

[FSI]

The phone needs to dip into the G450 to get dial tone so nothing strange about that. Once the call is established your 2 IP phones talk to each other (2/2) if you allow direct IP-2-IP connections.

did you actually put your G450 into their respective region by assigning a region in the media-gateway form or do you think they will go into their region based on the IP-Network-Map (they don’t)?

Thanks Frank!!

I new into network-regions and was not aware I had to actually change the media-gateway setup, I thought the system would always use the IP range to define the region.

So I put my second G450 in region 2 and it works.
All calls stay now in the region they are in. I have made several tests and the remote G450 (with CPU) does no longer show up.....

Many thanks!!!!!!
