Table 15-1: Ethernet Device Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
Index
[DeviceTable_Index]
Defines an index number for the new table record.
Note: Each table row must be configured with a unique index.
VLAN ID
CLI: vlan-id
[DeviceTable_VlanID]
Defines a VLAN ID.
The valid value is 1 to 3999. The default value is 1.
Name
CLI: name
[DeviceTable_DeviceName]
Defines a name for the VLAN. This name is used to associate the
VLAN with an IP network interface in the Interface table ('Underlying
Device' field - see ''Configuring IP Network Interfaces'' on page 138)
and/or with a static route in the Static Route table ('Device Name' field
- see ''Configuring Static IP Routing'' on page 147).
By default, the device automatically assigns a name using the
following syntax: "dev <next available table row index>" (e.g., "dev 3").
15.2 Configuring IP Network Interfaces
You can configure a single VoIP network interface for all applications, including OAMP
(management traffic), call control (SIP signaling messages), and media (RTP traffic), or
you can configure multiple logical, IP network interfaces for these applications. You may
need to logically separated network segments for these applications for administration and
security. This can be achieved by employing Layer-2 VLANs and Layer-3 subnets. The
figure below illustrates a typical network architecture where the device is configured with
three network interfaces, each representing the OAMP, call control, and media
applications. The device is connected to a VLAN-aware switch for directing traffic from and
to the device to the three separated Layer-3 broadcast domains according to VLAN tags
(middle pane).
