Rear Panel Cabling
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.
HA-Sharing Ports
Management network ports feature automatic crossover negotiation so that a
crossover cable is not necessary for HA cabling.
To cable Acme Packet 6300/6350 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 SBC1. The release tab on the RJ45 jack clicks into place when you insert it
properly.
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the corresponding management
interface on the rear panel of SBC2. The release tab on the RJ45 jack clicks
into place when you insert it properly. If you use Mgmt1 on SBC2, then you will
connect it to Mgmt1 on SBC2.
