Configuring Standard Local Survivability (SLS)
Activating changes in SLS
To activate changes you make in SLS, you must use the disable and enable SLS commands
together. Thus, to activate changes in SLS, perform the following steps:
1. Make any changes to SLS administration desired.
2. While still in SLS mode, enter set sls disable.
The G450 responds with the message Survivable Call Engine is disabled.
3. Enter set sls enable.
The G450 responds with the message Survivable Call Engine is enabled.
Using the CLI to manually configure SLS administration on the
gateway
It is recommended to use PIM to configure the SLS data. However, if PIM is unavailable, you
can also configure the SLS data from the G450 itself.
Prerequisites
The Communication Manager Release 4.1 is running on the host server
●
PIM or configuration of the G450 through its CLI
●
The G450 is registered with Avaya Communication Manager
●
The SLS is enabled on the G450 through its CLI
●
S8300 is not serving as an LSP
●
G450 is not subtending to another external server (including ESS or another LSP in
●
another gateway)
Planning and preparing the SLS data set
It is recommended to plan the SLS coverage and gather information from Avaya
Communication Manager before creating the SLS administration data set at the gateway
command line. Strategic selection of the stations and trunks that participate in SLS can ensure
that vital communications are spared interruptions caused by network outages.
