Testing LSP failover
About this task
If you have an S8300 Server installed in the Branch Gateway and configured as an LSP, you need
to perform a test to make sure that the LSP takes over control of the Branch Gateway if the
Branch Gateway becomes disconnected from the primary MGCs (Media Gateway Controller).
Note:
If SLS mode is enabled and the primary controller and LSP both fail, then the Branch Gateway
enters SLS mode.
Procedure
1. Verify that valid translations are file synchronized to the LSP by logging into Avaya Aura
®
Communication Manager from the LSP and listing either stations or trunks, see
Administering Avaya Aura
®
Communication Manager, 03-300509.
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(s)
(MGC). If you are using Avaya IW to configure the Branch Gateway, 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 one of the following usage options that
corresponds to the correct primary controller type:
• Install an LSP that is associated with an S8300D or S8300E server Primary
Controller.
If you selected the correct usage option, 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. The following IP addresses need to be configured for
each primary controller type:
Primary media
gateway controller
Number of IP addresses to
be configured
IP addresses to configure
S8300D or S8300E
server
1 The IP address of the primary
S8300D or S8300E server
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 Avaya IW until the LSP is registered with the
primary MGC and the translations are file synchronized.
