Configure the Layer 2 Switch (MXe Server)
The MXe Server starts with a default IP address for the internal Layer 2
switch, and all of the MXe Server IP addresses must be changed (at the
same time) to sit on the same subnet as the L2 switch address.
When you configure the Layer 2 Switch, ensure that you do the following:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Layer 2 switch on your
network and left Gigabit port on the MXe Server.
2. Program the Layer 2 switch with the appropriate settings (see
“Network Configuration Examples” on page 307 for more information).
3. See your IT administrator for information to set up and program a
DHCP server.
The MXe Server doesn’t have an internal DHCP server, so you
must use an external DHCP server.
Note: The Gigabit port on the MXe Server located on the right-hand side of
the controller front panel is disabled during bootup.
Tip:Refer to the preceding initial setup procedures for detailed instructions
on how to reset the system defaults and then reprogram new system IP
addresses.
Tip:Typically, in a VLAN environment, an access port is used to connect the
Layer 2 switch to the controller, and trunk ports to connect the Layer 2 switch
to the IP Phones.
Tip:IP trunks cannot work through the WAN port.
Tip:See “Configuring a Windows 2000 DHCP Server (prior to Release 7.0)”
on page 403 for information on programming 3300 ICP DHCP settings on a
Windows 2000 DHCP server.
