3. Route the cable away from the Acme Packet 6100. Make sure that the fiber
optic cables are not stretched tightly or subjected to extreme stress.

The information and instructions in this section explain how to cable an HA
node.
Category 5 (or higher) shielded Ethernet cables are required for cabling two
HA nodes together.
You can use one or two connections for HA redundancy support between the
two members of an HA node. Using two rear interfaces for sharing
redundancy information provides a high level of reliability. As a rule, Mgmt0
should be reserved as the boot/maintenance interface. This leaves Mgmt1 and
Mgmt2 available for sharing HA information.

Management network ports feature automatic crossover negotiation so that a
crossover cable is not necessary for HA cabling.
To cable Acme Packet 6100 in an HA configuration using single rear interface
support:
1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into either Mgmt1 or Mgmt2 on the rear
panel of the Acme Packet 6100 A. The release tab on the RJ45 jack clicks
into place when you insert it properly
