Note

This 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  to configure intra-cluster communication among nodes for use with a load balancing service. This configuration is required prior to configuring 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 a 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 main screen, navigate to All > System > Cluster Admin > Cluster Comm.

The Cluster Comm window is displayed.
