Reference

Configure internal and external addresses, corresponding to the primary and secondary Session Managers for the A1 and B1 interfaces.

Configuring internal and interfaces

Create two external signaling interfaces and two internal signaling interfaces.

Creating an external signaling interface toward phone network

Creating an internal signaling interface toward Avaya call server

Create two external media interfaces and two internal media interfaces.

Ensure that voice sessions are set as per the user license in the application rules and enable video.

Creating application rules

Create an endpoint policy group.

Creating an endpoint policy group

Create two server profiles, one for the primary and another for the secondary Session Manager.

Ensure that you enable heartbeat so that Avaya SBC sends heartbeats to Session Manager. The heartbeats are used to detect whether a Session Manager is available.

Creating an Avaya call server profile

Create a reverse proxy for file download.

Creating a reverse proxy relay service for file or firmware download

Create two routing profiles for primary and secondary Session Managers.

Do not use alternate routing in a multiple Session Manager deployment.

Do not configure the Next Hop Server 2 field.

Remote worker uses its algorithm to determine when to reach the secondary Session Manager. Avaya SBC does not require alternate routing in this type of deployment if the primary Session Manager goes down.

Creating a routing profile to Avaya call server

Create two subscriber endpoint flows corresponding to the primary and secondary Session Managers.

If you require RTP, use default low or avaya-def-low-encoding (for SRTP) depending on the endpoints.

Note:

If RTP and SRTP are both used, select capability negotiation.

Creating a subscriber flow

Create a server flow.

Create two server flows, one for Session Manager 1 and another for Session Manager 2.

Creating a server flow

Configure an application relay for IM.
