Network Module

ifconfig

  • A newly installed server uses DHCP to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the network so make sure the eth0 interface is connected to the network so the server can get an IP address.

  • Before you can login to the server you must know the IP address of at least one physical interface.

  • From the Linux console login prompt, enter username root.

  • From the password prompt enter the default root password scopserv.

  • Once you are successfully logged as root type the command ifconfig to determine at least one eth interface.

  • In this example the eth0 IP address is 192.168.192.60 which is the IP address that will be used to login to the GUI later.

  • Also notice that the HWaddr is the MAC address of the eth0 interface.

service network restart

passwd

  • If you need to change the default root password (recommended) the enter the command passwd .

  • You will be prompted to enter your new password. twice to confirm the root password change.

  • If you forget this password you will have to have a keyboard and monitor attached to the server.

  • Interrupt the boot at the GRUB stage and boot to runlevel 1, AKA single user mode. Interrupt GRUB by typing a character such as “space” then append to the kernel line by typing “a”, backspacing through “rhgb quiet” and appending ” 1<enter>”. This will give you a root shell and not a login prompt. From there you can use the “passwd” command to set a new root password.

Firewall Type

  • Since this example system only has a single network interface there is no option to choose a firewall/gateway mode.

  • Choose single system to enable the firewall or no firewall to disable the firewall.

  • If a firewall mode is chosen tick off the options to allow desired allowed inbound traffic.

Locale

  • Choose the language type that best suits your country profile to set the local tones and cadences configuration that best suits your local telco.

  • The Server is behind NAT option is configured if the server is behind a third party NAT router. This setting manipulates SIP traffic to work behind the NAT router using the internal Session Border Controller (SBC).

  • NOTE: If the server is behind NAT then ensure that the external firewall port forwards the TCP/UDP ports to the static IP address of the server.

Port examples:

  • UDP/TCP 5060 SIP signaling

  • UDP/TCP 10000-20000 SIP RTP traffic

  • UDP 4569 IAX2 signaling and RTP traffic

  • TCP 22 SSH management

  • TCP 5555 SCOPTEL GUI

  • UDP 123 NTP

  • UDP 69 TFTP provisioning
