Deploying a geographically dispersed Avaya SBC HA configuration

Last Updated : May 31, 2023 |

Procedure

  1. Install each Avaya SBC security device.
  2. Install Avaya EMS security device.
  3. Log in to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
  4. In the navigation pane, click Device Management.
  5. On the Device Management page, click Add.

    The EMS server displays the Add Device page.

  6. Provide appropriate values in the following fields:
    1. Node Name
    2. Management IP
    3. High Availability
    4. Node Name for second Node
    5. Management IP for second Node
    Note:

    When you select the High Availability (HA) check box, the system with HA mode replicates and preserves complete signaling state for all active calls and registration information of endpoints on the standby box. In the event that the active box fails, the standby box can maintain the state of the active call so that all the features for that active call are available. The EMS server with HA mode maintains state information for calls on UDP transport only. In an event when a particular call leg uses TCP transport, EMS server with HA mode will be unavailable for that call. Avaya SBC then falls back to Media HA where only audio information is replicated.

  7. Click Finish.
