Avaya - Assigning a Static IP to IPSI board (TN2312AP/BP)

As you probably already know voice gear should probably be on its own VLAN. An IPSI IP should be chosen from the your voice gear VLAN and should most likely be an IP from outside your DHCP scope.

• Find the IP that you want to statically assign to your IPSI board
• What is the subnet for the VLAN in which your static IP is from
• What is the gateway for that VLAN

Example: Static IP - 10.1.1.10

              Subnet - 255.255.255.0

              Gateway - 10.1.1.1

The next steps are:

• Install the IPSI board into Gateway/Cabinet if new install. 
• Statically assign the following IP to your laptop 192.11.13.5/30 and hit OK

• Connect your laptop via a Cross-Over cable to Services port on front of the IPSI board
• Open the command prompt and ping 192.11.13.6 (This is to check that you have connectivity to the IPSI)

• At command prompt type telnet 192.11.13.6 (Note: Make sure that you have telnet enabled on your PC)

• You should now see an [IPSI] command prompt
• Now enter command  "ipsilogin" and hit enter
• For the user type "craft"
• for the password type "serv1ces"
• You should now be at the [IPADMIN] command prompt
• Now type "set control interface" followed by the static IP and subnet and hit enter
• Example using static IP from above: "set control interface 10.1.1.10 255.255.255.0"
• Now type "set control gateway" followed by the gateway IP and hit enter
• Example using the gateway IP from above: "set control gateway 10.1.1.1"
• Now lock the IPSI down to 100Full. To do this type "set port speed 1 100MB" and hit enter
• Now disable auto-negotiation. To do this type "set port duplex 1 full" and hit enter. Also type "set port negotiation 1 disable"
• Now you have to do a reset on the board for you change to take effect. To do this type " reset" and hit enter, then type "y" and hit enter to confirm
• After the IPSI has been rebooted, log back in to confirm that all your changes took effect. 
• Once logged in type "show control interface" to make sure the IPSI board reset was successful
• To make sure that the IPSI has been locked down to 100Full with auto-negotiation disabled type "show port 1" 
• You are now done. To exit the IPSI command prompt type "exit" and hit enter

Hope this post helps...
