User's Manual 5. Configuring an IP Address for Mediant 3000 HA
5 Configuring an IP Address for Mediant
3000 HA
This section describes how to assign IP addresses to the Mediant 3000 High Availability
(HA) device. This can be done using BootP and the Web interface.
The Mediant 3000 HA houses two TP-6310 blades or two TP-8410 blades, where one is
active while the other is redundant (or in standby). Each of these two blades has a different
private IP address, which is used for initial configuration, maintenance, or fallback in case
of a major device problem which prevents it from operating in HA mode. When initially
configuring the blades, the BootP server communicates with the blades using these two IP
addresses.
In addition to the private IP addresses, the device has "global" (public) IP addresses used
by the active blade for communicating with the IP network (i.e., OAMP, Media, and Control
interfaces). These global IP addresses can be configured through the ini file or Web
management tools. From the perspective of the WAN interface (e.g., proxy server), the two
blades have the same IP address (global IP address) and the redundant blade is a
transparent entity.
Table 5-1: Mediant 3000 HA Default IP Addresses
Parameter Default Value
Private IP Addresses
 Blade in Slot 1: 10.1.10.10
 Blade in Slot 3: 10.1.10.11
Subnet Mask
255.255.0.0
Global IP Address
0.0.0.0
Notes:
• Ensure that both blades are connected to the network.
• Ensure that your IP addressing scheme does not include the blades' default
private IP addresses. These are internal, default IP addresses reserved for the two
blades. You must assign a new private IP address to each blade according to your
organization’s IP addressing scheme.
• The global IP addresses must be different from the private IP addresses of the
blades.
• It is recommended to define the private IP addresses of the blades in the same
subnet as the device’s OAMP interface. This allows the blades to send reports to a
Syslog server in case of major device failure.
• You can also assign private IP addresses to the blades through CLI, as described
in ''CLI'' on page 49.
The following procedure describes how to initially assign a global (public) IP address to
Mediant 3000 HA using AudioCodes AcBootP utility and the Web interface.
 To initially assign a global IP address to Mediant 3000 HA:
1. Assign the device's two blades with new private IP addresses that correspond to your
network IP addressing scheme, using BootP:
a. Ensure that both blades are connected to the network.
b. Start the AcBootP utility.
