Nortel IP address change Part 2

[wl7coe]

After doing alittle research here and a few other web sites I see people making the remark that the Management IP and the voice IP's have to be on seperate subnets as the switch does not play well with broadcasts. Anyone know where in the manuals I can find a ref to this? I am sure that in the near future they are going to force me off of the current default elan and on to the new agency STANDARD. Which does not inlcude seperate subnets.

Thanks!!

Here is a snapshot of the ITG install manual.

Page 124 of 294 Installation and configuration of ITG Line 2.0 node
553-3001-204 Standard 1.00 October 2000
4 Enter Node Location data from the New ITG Node General tab:
a. Select a MAT/OTM site, MAT/OTM system and customer number.
b. Type in a node number (one to three digits).The Node Number
field in the tab corresponds to the Node ID field in the i2004
Internet Telephone configuration.
c. Write down the node number, which is used in the i2004 Internet
Telephone configuration.
5 Enter Network Connections data.
a. For ITG line 2.0, you must check the option, "Use separate
subnets for voice and management".
b. Enter Voice LAN Node IP address (in dotted decimal format).
Press the space bar to move between each decimal point. The
Voice LAN Node IP is on the TLAN.
c. Enter Management LAN Gateway IP address (in dotted decimal
format). This is the IP address of the router interface on the ELAN,
if present. If there is no management LAN gateway, enter: 0.0.0.0
d. Enter Management LAN subnet mask address (in dotted
decimal format).
e. Enter Voice LAN subnet mask address (in dotted decimal
format).
6 Click the Configuration tab. See Procedure 10 on page 126.
—————————— End of Procedure ——————————
CAUTION
You must use the separate subnets option to achieve acceptable
performance for ITG Line 2.0.
CAUTION
Do not click OK at this point. If you click OK you will exit the
General Tab Node properties configuration without saving any of
the changes.

Typically the management LAN does not connect to your corporate LAN, and therefor may not be affected by your RE-IP project. Typically on the T-LAN connects to your Data network.
