Quick-And-Easy Initial Ha Configuration - AudioCodes Mediant 800 User Manual

CHAPTER 41 HA Configuration
When synchronization completes, the redundant device resets to apply the received
configuration and software.
When both devices become operational in HA, the HA status is indicated as follows:
● Both devices: The Web interface's Monitor page displays "Operational" in the 'HA Status'
field.
● Active device: The Status LED is lit green - slow-flash, steady on, and then slow flash.
● Redundant device: The Status LED is lit green - slow-fast flash.
3. Access the active device with its' OAMP IP address and configure the device as required. For
information on configuration done after HA is operational, see
Operational.

Quick-and-Easy Initial HA Configuration

You can quickly set up two stand-alone devices into an HA system, by loading the same ini
configuration file with special parameters to each device. This ini file contains basic configuration
that identifies the devices by MAC address and applies the configuration accordingly.
➢
To quickly set up two devices for HA:
1. Make sure that the License Key installed on both devices includes the HA license (see
the License Key
2. Obtain the MAC address of each device. The MAC address is displayed on the Device
Information page (see
3. Prepare a single ini file with the following configuration:
● Parameters relating to the first device ("local"):
◆
◆
◆
◆
● Parameters relating to the second device ("remote"):
◆
◆
◆
◆
● InterfaceTable - defines the IP Interfaces table with two network interfaces for the
following Application Types:

An example of a configured ini file is shown below:
HALocalMAC = '00908f737a89'
HAUnitIdName = 'Device_1'
HARevertiveEnabled = 1
HAPriority = 6
HARemoteMAC = '00908f594667'
HARemoteAddress = 1.1.1.2
HARemoteUnitIdName = 'Device_2'
on page 927).
Viewing Device Information
HALocalMAC - specifies the MAC address
(Optional) HAUnitIdName - defines a descriptive name
(Optional) HARevertiveEnabled - enables the HA Preempt feature
(Optional) HAPriority - defines the priority of the device if the HA Preempt feature is
enabled
HARemoteMAC - specifies the MAC address
HARemoteAddress - defines the HA Maintenance interface address
(Optional) HARemoteUnitIdName - defines a descriptive name
(Optional) HARemotePriority - defines the priority of the device if the HA Preempt
feature is enabled
OAMP + Media + Control: This is the same for both devices.
HA Maintenance: This is the Maintenance address of the device whose MAC address
is the value of the HALocalMAC parameter.
