Installing the Linux base
For installation instructions for the Avaya CS 1000 Linux base, see Linux Platform Base and
Applications Installation and Commissioning, NN43001-315.
Important:
Carefully observe the labels for the network interfaces of the specific platforms.
During the Linux base installation for Avaya 3100 Mobile Communicator Gateway, you make
two platform-specific configuration changes.
• Physical connection—Use only the eth1 physical network interface.
- HP COTS platform—The network interfaces can be labelled (0,1) or (1, 2). The lower
number is eth0 and the higher number is eth1.
- IBM 306M platform—The network interfaces are labelled backwards. Interfaces (0,
1) are eth1 and eth0 respectively.
• IP addresses—During the Linux base installation, the software prompts you to enter the
TLAN and ELAN network interface IP addresses.
- Configure the ELAN network interface IP with an unused private IP address. The IP
standard reserves specific address ranges within Class A, Class B, and Class C for
use by private networks (intranets).
Table 10: Reserved IP address ranges on
page 67 lists the reserved ranges of the IP address space.
- Configure the TLAN network interface IP to the same IP address as the Avaya 3100
Mobile Communicator Gateway and corresponding physical eth1 network interface.
Table 10: Reserved IP address ranges
Class
Private starting address Private ending address
A 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
B 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255
C 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255
Important:
This procedure documents the installation of Avaya Linux base on a commercial off-the-
shelf (COTS) server with no previous Avaya Linux base installation.
Connect to the COTS server using a serial console or keyboard, video monitor, and mouse
(kvm).
Important:
Before installing the Linux base, read all of the documentation provided by the manufacturer
of the COTS server.
