The SBC 1000 has three Ethernet ports used for communicating with the IP network. All SIP traffic is carried on these two ports. Unlike the SBC 2000, this model has no dedicated Management Port.
The third Ethernet port on the SBC 1000 is available only if running SBC 1000 v2 hardware. For hardware details, see Sonus SBC 1000 Hardware Specifications.
The SBC 2000 has four Ethernet ports and one Ethernet Management port. By default, each of the four non-management ports are in their own system created VLAN, and are isolated from one another.
If the unit is equipped with a built-in ASM, all ASM traffic is carried uniquely through this Ethernet port.

Ethernet redundancy on the SBC 1000/2000 supports continued operation of the SBC if failures occur regarding the underlying Ethernet service, such as:
By offering a standby Ethernet port to an active port, the SBC 1000/2000 allows SBC traffic to be re-directed from a primary Ethernet switch to an alternate Ethernet switch (within the same subnet) that is pre-configured (by the enterprise) with the same network connections as the primary Ethernet switch. The alternate switch is assumed capable of recognizing the introduction of live traffic to/from the SBC (over the standby Ethernet port) and to recover the outbound/inbound connections to the rest of the network.
Ethernet redundancy includes:
The Ethernet redundancy featuredoes not support load balancing, and does not guarantee SBC availability.
