IP Trunking 1

[chicagophoneman]

Is there a way to roll over to other C-LAN's?

In the Signaling Group I define the near end and far end node name but if the far end clan goes out of service I have to manually change the far end name to get the calls back up as I do have multiple C-LAN's at all locations.

The C-LAN's are in the same net region.

Im not sure if this can be done as I am more familiar with IP phones than trunks.

Any advice either way would be much appreciated.

I don't think there is a way to do what you want. Why are the CLANs going out of service? I would try and fix that issue, since there really isn't a way to have multiple CLANs defined on the signalling group form...

I had a switch port go bad and with centralized voicemail over the ip trunks the site was without voicemail and dcs. While we were investigating the problem I changed the far end node name to get everything back up but was wondering for future if I could have an automatic backup since I have multiple C-LAN's anyway. Oh well I didnt think it could be done from going through AVAYA docs but figured I would ask.

Thank you for your quick response.

chicagophoneman, I did think of a way:

Define 2 separate IP trunk groups, and put BOTH of these trunk groups in your AAR routing. If one trunk group is "unavailble" because a CLAN is OOS, then the 2nd trunk group would take over.

When you setup each trunk group, use a different CLAN for each one... you could even have 3 or 4 IP trunk groups...

If you don't have enough IP trunk RTU, just divide the number of IP channels, so if your original had say 8 or 9 members, make say 3 or 4 groups, with 2 or 3 members in each...

That should do it even if everything is working ok, all of these trunks will be up and in service, but if a CLAN goes out of service, you will only lose 2 or 3 of the IP channels, and not everything...

I like that idea Mitch. Just kinking myself for not thinking of it. Star for you*
