Install and configure IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node
Procedure 28
Installing a Backup Leader in IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
Step
Action
1
Ensure both IP trunk cards are running the same version of software.
The software version is displayed when logging into the IP trunk
cards. The software version can also be displayed by typing the
command
swVersionShow
at the ITG CLI interface.
2
If the software versions are different, follow the upgrade erase
procedure. Download the software from
home page.
Follow the links to Customer Support and Software Distribution or
go to
If problems are encountered, please
contact the support group or GNTS.
3
Ensure the D-channel is configured to handle the extra B-channels
that are installed. ISLM = 382 max.
4
Use NTMF94 cables for ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk cards with a
DCHIP card installed. Use NTCW84 cables for ITG-Pentium 24-port
trunk cards that do not have a DCHIP card installed.
Use an A0852632 L-adapter for Media Card 32-port trunk cards. If
the Media Card 32-port trunk card has a DCHIP card installed, use
the DCHIP cable assembly NTMF29BA along with the L-adapter.
5
In TM 3.1, in the same Node as Leader 0, configure Leader 1.
Ensure the correct MAC address, ELAN network interface IP
address, and TLAN network interface IP address assigned for the
Backup Leader (Leader 1) are used, and add them. The ELAN
network interface IP addresses must be on the same subnet for all
cards. Though on a different subnet than the ELAN network interface
IP addresses, TLAN network interface IP addresses must also be
on the same subnet. The MAC address used must always be for
the ELAN network interface. The MAC address for the Media Card
32-port trunk card is printed on the IP trunk card faceplate under the
ELAN network interface. The MAC address for the ITG-Pentium
trunk card is printed on the card faceplate under MOTHERBOARD.
6
If the card (Leader1) has been configured previously, perform the
Clear Leader
command at the ITG CLI interface. When this IP
trunk card is rebooted, it comes up as a Follower/BLDR card. All
configuration data is cleared on the card. It is not necessary to use
the
setLeader
command.
7
Disable Leader 0 and Leader 1 from the system interface. Disable
the IP trunk card at the system CLI to ensure it is disabled, even if
the LED on the IP trunk card is lit. For information on how to disable
