There are two layers to the Cisco Meeting Server: a Platform and an Application.

• The Platform is configured through the Mainboard Management Processor (MMP). The MMP is used for low level bootstrapping and configuration. It presents a command line interface.

  Note: On the Cisco Meeting Server 2000, the MMP is accessed via a Serial over LAN (SoL) connection. In the virtualized deployment(and the Cisco Meeting Server 1000) the MMP is accessed on virtual interface A. On the X series servers the MMP can be accessed via the serial Console port or using SSH on the Ethernet interface labeled Admin.

• The Application runs on this managed platform with configuration interfaces of its own. The application level administration (call and media management) is done via the Call Bridge’s Web Admin Interface (which can be configured to run on any one of the Ethernet interfaces) or via the API.

Notes:

On the X series servers there are five physical Ethernet interfaces labeled Admin, A, B C and D. There is no physical separation between the media interfaces A-D, but the Admin interface is physically separate. Each interface is configured independently of the others at the IP level. IP forwarding is not enabled in either the Admin or host IP stack. Note: X series servers are not supported from version 3.0 of the Cisco Meeting Server software.

In the virtualized deployment one Ethernet interface (A) is created but up to three more can be added (B, C and D).
