Branch gateways and IP endpoints

Last Updated : Oct 06, 2023 |

Branch gateways and H.323 endpoint registration on a survivable core server is allowed if you administer the Enable PE for H.248 Gateways and Enable PE for H.323 Endpoints fields on the Survivable Processor screen of the main server.

In the event of failure of a main server, the branch gateways and IP endpoints that are directly connected to the Processor Ethernet of the main server reregister to the Processor Ethernet on the survivable core or survivable remote server. See IP device with Processor Ethernet.

Note:

Two IP addresses are available to the IP endpoint: the IP address of the main server and the IP address of the survivable server. If the IP endpoint loses connectivity to its current primary gatekeeper, the IP device uses the alternate gatekeeper list for automatic recovery of service.
