ran into this before on routers, you can put something like that or vrrp or carp in front of a pair of systems to fail to the right one BUT there isn't only one interface on something like a pbx, it has a lan interface and a wan interface, you have to get failover happening on the ALL at the same time which is tricky since when you fail one interface that sometimes eliminates being able to trigger the other interface to fail over since it no longer has any access to get a signal there.
If you want to be able to look at the system to see why it failed you have to have some other way in as well.
Every requirement just makes it more complex, and more fun to test.
You can actually configure at least some Polycom phones to 3 or more SIP servers. Your problem is going to be that when one of your servers is down for whatever reason, the "line key" attached to that server will be "off". In a "Dual Server" environment, I would lean toward putting something like Kamailio (sp) in line so it can determine which server is the active one. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Wieling Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 9:27 AM To: [email protected]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] "Simple" failover configuration Polycom phones after firmware 2.x register to BOTH the primary and backup servers.
