Network administration

Use screens in this section to set up and enable or disable services that interact with devices on the corporate local area network (LAN) interface. Use these screens:

• At initial installation. to set up network services and authorized access for a new Avaya media server.
• For ongoing administration, such as when you add new features or capabilities such as extra ports to a system that is in service.
• For as-needed basis, for example, to start or stop FTP service on the Avaya media server as needed.

Network administration and security tasks include:

• Set up SNMP service — optional per site
• Enable or disable Ethernet switch ports — busy-out unused interfaces to prevent unauthorized access
• Enable or disable the modem — used for alarm reporting and dial-in access on each server
• Set LAN security — enable or disable networking services for the server's corporate LAN interface
• Start or stop the FTP server — enable or disable file transfers to the Avaya media server
• Install license and authentication files as needed — provide authorized access to the server and the server features
