Avaya has released another technical configuration guide (application note) from their interoperability testlab regarding how to properly configure the Avaya Communication Server 1000 release 6.0 for SIP (PSTN) trunking with Frontier Communication System. The document is highly technical and very thorough and while it might be “over the top” for some it’s just what the doctor ordered for those users who are eager to take a more hands on approach to their voice solutions rather than just relying on resellers.

Cheers!

Avaya Communication Server 1000 6.0 SIP Trunking with Paetec

Avaya has released another technical configuration guide (application note) from their interoperability testlab regarding how to properly configure the Avaya Communication Server 1000 release 6.0 for SIP (PSTN) trunking with Paetec (Broadsoft platform). The document is highly technical and very thorough and while it might be “over the top” for some it’s just what the doctor ordered for those users who are eager to take a more hands on approach to their voice solutions rather than just relying on resellers.

I personally used Paetec a few years ago as a local CLEC where they had been providing local and long distance toll access for a number of our facilities over traditional T1/PRI access lines.

Cheers!

Avaya Technical Configuration Guide for BGP

I use BGP extensively to provide dynamic routing between a number of vendors, business partners and affiliated organizations with whom I’m multi-homed to. I recently had to determine if Nortel/Avaya supported eBGP MultiHop on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 software release 5.x (they do). Thankfully I was able to peer with a Cisco 6500 switch that was sitting behind a Cisco firewall module from an Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 without any significant issues,.

If you are looking for a great resource on BGP I would highly recommend O’Reilly’s book titled BGP.

If you are looking for Avaya/Nortel specific information concerning their BGP implement then you are in luck. Avaya has a technical configuration guide for the ERS 8600 that focuses on BGP. While this is an older document (November 2007) it still does a great job of providing a number of configuration examples and explaining the basics.

In the near future I might need to use an ERS 8606 as an Internet router. I’ll need to peer with the ISP since I’m multi-home to independent Internet Service Providers, although I’m not sure if the 8692SF can handle a full BGP routing table. Has anyone ever tried to feeding a full (or partial) BGP routing table from the Internet to an ERS 8800/8600 switch?

Cheers!
