[Freeswitch-users] Lan redundancy

bond0 becomes your single network interface. eth0/eth1 aren't used anylonger - they're still there but they're just slaves of bond0.That means you get a single IP on bond0 (eth0/eth1 don't have an IP) whichis the one FS/softphones would use.If you're planning to have two independant networks with eth0 on one andeth1 on the other that'll cause you problems... it's meant to provide theserver with two routes into the same network.Between devices on the LAN it'll be problematic - in active-backup onedevice will be active and the others disabled. There's no guarantee that allservers'll pick the same slave device though, so some might be on eth0 andothers on eth1 which'd mean they wouldn't be able to reach each other. My 2switches are connected together and use RSTP to avoid routing loops to avoidthat, which is why I mentioned it in the 1st email.For the routing to the WAN it'll mean different routers so different IPs,which'll drop calls with NAT on switchover, and force you to listen to bothpublic IPs on bond0 / FS if you're not using NAT which'll also mean droppedcalls on switching over.Our network setup is here: http://pastebin.freeswitch.org/16587, how youconnect to the WAN really will depend on your ISP/Data Centre though.-SteveOn 25 June 2011 11:55, Alessandro <a.luppi at seletech.com> wrote:> **> Very interesting,>> I was thinking to something similar..
