The contents of this page caters to SBC SWe Cloud onlyThis window is only available when configuring an M-SBC cluster in a distributed SBC SWe deployment in the OpenStack cloud environment.

Use the Cluster Comm window on SBC SWe Cloud systems to configure interfaces for intra-cluster communication among nodes for use with a load balancing service. This configuration is required prior to configuring use of a Load Balancing Service.  on an M-SBC cluster. A load balancing service is mandatory on M-SBC clusters to enable distributing media-related requests among the media nodes in the cluster. For more information on configuring the Load Balancing Service for intra-cluster VNFC communicationa load balancing service, refer to Load Balancing Service - CLI. 

Refer to Modifying SBC Cluster Configuration for information on how to access the SBC Configuration Manager GUI from the EMS to configure an SBC cluster.

On the SBC main screen, navigate to All > System > Cluster Admin > Cluster Comm.
