Hello,
The 3CX Debian Installation from ISO instructions are very well done. Thank you!
For what it is worth, i would like to just add one minor comment for anyone who is trying to install on a VLAN and needs to add a VLAN tag to the eth0 (or whatever the nic card is named) before being allowed access on the network.
By default, the debian configuration included in the ISO package does NOT support VLAN tags without having to:
1. add VLAN support to the system.
1.1. $ sudo apt-get install vlan
1.2. $ sudo modprobe 8021q
1.3. $ echo 8021q | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
(Note: insteat of the echo command in 1.3you can use vi or another text editor to add the above-mentioned 8021q kernel module to the /etc/modules configuration file to load it at the boot time)
2. modify the /etc/network/interfaces file (below is an example or what the interfaces files should look like)
2.1
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# add vlan 700 on eth0 - static IP address
auto eth0.700
iface eth0.700 inet static
address 10.100.10.77
netmask 255.255.255.0
3. Restart network with VLAN tag configured
3.1 $ /etc/init.d/networking restart
4. Verify that internet access (DNS resolution specifically) works.
4.1 $ ping 8.8.8.8
4.2 $ ping google.com
5. continue with the 3CX installation (meaning start from the Debian step that downloads the 3cx proconfig file)
Thank you for your attention.
