Lsp Failover Testing - Avaya G450 Installing And Upgrading

After installation

LSP failover testing

If you have an S8300 Server module installed in the G450 and configured as an LSP, you need
to perform a test to make sure that the LSP takes over control of the G450 if the G450 becomes
disconnected from the primary MGC.
1. Verify that valid translations are file synchronized to the LSP by logging into Avaya
Communication Manager from the LSP and listing either stations or trunks (refer to
Administrator's Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 555-233-506). Verify that the
list of stations or trunks is valid. If the files are not synchronized, verify that you have
correctly configured the required IP address(es) for the primary controller (MGC). If you
are using Avaya IW to configure the G450, the following are key actions that must be done
in the wizard to ensure correct IP address configuration:
a. In the Usage options screen, select Install this media server as an LSP. The Primary
Controller IP Address screen appears later in the wizard, and calls for the required
primary controller IP addresses for your primary controller type. Refer to
the IP addresses and controller information.
b. In the Primary Controller IP address screen, enter all the required IP addresses for the
primary controller type.
There may be a delay after running AIW until the LSP is registered with the primary
MGC and the translations are file synchronized.
2. If valid translations are not file synchronized to the LSP, do the following:
a. From a SAT session run from the primary controller, verify that the LSP node-name
and IP address are correctly entered.
b. Use the save translation lsp command to start the file synchronization process.
c. Log in again to Avaya Communication Manager from the LSP and list either stations or
trunks.
d. Verify that the list of stations or trunks is valid.
3. Disconnect the G450 from the primary controller, ensuring that all telephones are still
connected to the G450.
4. Verify that calls can be made between local telephones and to outside telephones.
