Cisco CallManager Redundancy
Within a cluster, each registered IP phone can be assigned a prioritized list of up
to three Cisco CallManagers with which it can register for call processing. Shared
resources such as gateways using the Skinny Gateway Protocol are also capable
of using this redundancy scheme. The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)
also operates in a similar fashion to provide spatial redundancy for call
processing. Peer-to-peer protocols such as H.323 also facilitate redundancy.
Figure 3-2 depicts the redundancy scheme using three Cisco CallManagers.
Figure 3-2 Cisco CallManager Redundancy Group
Each IP phone maintains active TCP sessions with its primary and secondary
Cisco CallManagers. This configuration facilitates switchover in the event of
failure of the primary Cisco CallManager. Upon restoration of the primary, the
device reverts to its primary Cisco CallManager.
Redundancy Group Configurations
You can design your system to provide call processing redundancy by configuring
Cisco CallManager redundancy groups. A Cisco CallManager redundancy group
is a prioritized list of up to three Cisco CallManagers. You can then assign
individual devices to a specific Cisco CallManager redundancy group. A
Cisco CallManager redundancy group is a subset of a cluster; all members of a
redundancy group are also members of a cluster.
