524 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Administering Network Regions
Before assigning an IP network region to a G700, you must define network region on the IP
Network Region form. After a network region is defined, you can assign it to the various network
elements (servers, gateways, IP phones).
The information you need to do this should be provided in your planning documentation. Use
the system defaults if the planning documentation does not specify otherwise.
For a G700 with an S8300 LSP and an S8500 or S8700-series Media Server as the primary
controller, there may be more than one network region, since there can be up to 250 G700
media gateways connected to the S8500 or S8700-series Media Server with thousands of
telephones in the network. In this case, you define a network region for each CLAN board on
the S8500 or S8700-series port networks, though they may also have the same network region.
Note:
Note:
With an S8300 or an S8400 Media Server, there still may be a need for more than
one network region, though the S8400 supports up to five media gateways and
the S8300 supports up to 50 media gateways.
The G700, in the case of multiple network regions, may also share the same network region as
the CLAN board(s). However, it may have a different network region because of the geographic
distances of the connections between the G700 and the primary controller. The G700 network
region may also differ because of the nature of the endpoints connected to it.
To configure IP network regions for the G700 and CLAN board(s)

CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Configuring IP network regions can be quite complex. For detailed information on
the use and administration of IP network regions, see Administration for Network
Connectivity for Avaya Communication Manager, 555-233-504.
1. On the SAT screen of the primary controller for the G700 media gateway, type change
ip-network-region <network_region>
where <network_region> is the region you will assign to the G700 media gateway. This
region number may or may not match the network region of the S8400, S8500, or
S8700-series CLAN boards.
The system displays the IP Network Region screen.
