Use the following workflow to set up a pair of Edge 8300 devices for High Availability (HA). Refer to High Availability for an overview of the HA option. (Refer to Workflow for Initial Setup - Standalone for deploying a single, stand-alone Edge 8100 or 8300 device.)

Prerequisites

  • Login access to the following user interfaces:
    • Edge 8000 CLI, as user sysadm
    • SBC SWe Edge web-based GUI, as user admin
    • RAMP CLI, as users insight and admin

Refer to First-Time Login Passwords for the initial (default) passwords.

1

Physically install the two 8300 devices.

Install the devices and their cabling. For High Availability, also connect the HA cable between the devices. Power on the systems.

Refer to Installing Edge 8000 Hardware.


2

Configure the initial platform settings on each device.1

For High Availability, this includes:

      • Changing the default CPU assignments to decrease the number of 6WIND Fast Path router cores and increase the SWe Edge call management cores
      • Utilizing Bridge 5 as the HA bridge

Refer to Running Setup Wizard - High Availability. Perform this procedure first on one and then on the other 8300 device.

Configure dynamic RAMP registration.3

Refer to Register an Edge 8000 Device.

RAMP CLI via ssh

Notes:

  1. Upon initial login, the system instructs you to change the password. Refer to First-Time Login Passwords for the initial (default) passwords.

  2. The Edge 8000 device comes factory-installed with an on-premise, virtual machine (VM) version of SBC SWe Edge. Follow the instructions in the document Obtaining and Installing an SBC SWe Edge Production Node-Locked License to order a production license for an on-premise VM license, then generate and install the license per the procedure given in that document.

  3. This workflow references procedures within the Edge 8000 document suite as well as procedures from other Ribbon collections, such as the SBC SWe Edge document suite and the RAMP document suite.
