G450 with S8300 IP change

[telcoguy]

Hi possibly need to change the IP address on a standalone G450 with S8300c on CM R5.1. with IA770
What are the steps to take and in what sequence?
Customer put everything into a single LAN and is now looking to split the Data and Voice VLAN, as it should be.
Could not find a proper step by step in the Avaya docs unfortunately.

Please take a look at the second link below... it will show you how to configure the system. In your case, you just need to concentrate on the IP portion for the G450, S8300 and IA770. And nothing else. And NO NVRAM INIT.
Let me know what questions you have and I will address them along the way.

Installaing and Upgrading for G450 is on this link...

And look at Appendix C... AVAYA Installation Wizard.

Thanks, In general will the installation wizard run smoothly when you re-run it, from experience? My experience with the wizard aren't very good to say at the least. When you just change the IP address, and leave everything as is, will eveything still work? or do yo need to re-apply anything again like license files etc?
will config stay unchanged otherwise? Just a little hesitant as I have a very small downtime window.

thx

Using the installation wizard is the most straightforward way to handle this. You can re-run it without changing anything and it will stay the same.
However, if you just focus your changes on the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway and not change any of the others it will just be reapplied. License and password files will not need to be re-loaded because the install wizard reconize that they already exist. You should have that with you if possible... just a best practice.

What config? like your station translation on the CM side. If that is the question, yes they will stay the same. Please make sure you do a save translation to flash drive while you are at it... just a best practice.

Small downtime window? You should allow your self at least 2 hours.

The flip side of not using the Installation Wizard wil require that you get into the G450 Gateway and change the dataside of the interface. Then you will need to go over to the S8300 side and change the IP address via a short form of the install wizard for the CM and IA770 IP changes.

What happen here? --> My experience with the wizard aren't very good to say at the least.

Hope I answered all your questions, otherwise please let me know.
