Sonus SBC 1000

The

Sonus SBC 2000

The

ASM

If the unit is equipped with a built-in ASM, all ASM traffic is carried uniquely through this Ethernet port.

Working with Ethernet Ports:

1. In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.

2. In the left navigation pane, go to Node Interfaces > Ports. See below for examples.

Ethernet Redundancy for Failover

Ethernet redundancy on the SBC 1000/2000 supports continued operation of the SBC if failures occur regarding the underlying Ethernet service, such as:

• Ethernet switch malfunction
• Ethernet port malfunction

By offering a standby Ethernet port to an active port, the 

Ethernet redundancy includes:

• A provisioning construct called Ethernet Redundancy Pair
  Only one instance of pair will be supported by the SBC 1000 at any given time;
  A maximum of two instances of pair will be supported by the SBC 2000 at any given time;
• Any pair must be associated with two physically distinct Ethernet ports; on the SBC 2000, all Ethernet ports associated with one or two pair(s) must be unique;
• One port within the pair is selected as primary (carries all Tx and Rx to a primary Ethernet switch); the other is provisioned as the standby and is connected to an alternate Ethernet switch in the same subnet;
• The SBC will offer the provisioning of a single IP address to the pair, to "hide" from upper SBC application layers the Ethernet redundancy feature (i.e. only a single IP address may be assigned to the pair).

To configure Ethernet Port Redundancy, refer to the following pages for details:
