Configure the Acme Packet 1100 for system redundancy

To establish system redundancy for a pair of Acme Packet 1100 Oracle Enterprise Session Border Controllers, configure the peer parameters for each member of the pair. Perform all of the configuration on the active (Enterprise SBC) and then perform a synchronization, so that the peer can acquire the configuration.

Before You Begin
  • Configure the management interface. See "Configure the Acme Packet 1100 Management Interface for HA."
  • Configure the media interface virtual MAC address. See "Virtual MAC Address Configuration."
  • Configure the network interface. See "Configure the Acme Packet 1100 Network Interface for HA."

Procedure

Logon to the redundancy-config configuration object and enter a unique name and IP address for each member of the pair. Specify one member of the pair as the primary and the other as the secondary. Use the same network-interface for both members of the pair.
  1. Logon and navigate to the redundancy-config object.
