VoIP MGCP Call Agent Failover
iMG/RG Software Reference Manual (Voice Service)
6-4
When heartbeat is enabled, each endpoint (or User Agent) supervises the operative status of Call Agent inde-
pendently on the status of the other endpoints.
It’s possible force a specific User Agent to check for Call Agent activity and to be master also for the other
User Agents. If the specific endpoint does not receive a command from the Call Agent within the heartbeat
timer time-out it forces all the User Agents to enter into the disconnected procedure.
To activate this behavior is necessary enable the heartbeat and then enter the following command:
By default heartbeat is disabled and can be enabled via the following command:
voip mgcp protocol set heartbeat port <endpoint-name>
To return to the default behavior is necessary disable the heartbeat and then re-enabling it.
6.1.5 Call Agent Failover
iMG/RG/iBG support dual Call Agents failover mechanism to switch between inactive to active call agents in
order to support high availability services.
The failover mechanism is triggered any time a request sent by the User Agents does not get any answer from
the Call Agent within the round-trip time-out.
In this case if more than one call agent is configured, the User Agent will re-send the same command toward
the second call agent. As soon the User Agent get an answer from the second call agent, the second call agent
becomes the active call agent and will be used for all the subsequent requests.
The process repeats any time a call agent is not reachable switching in this way the communications between
primary call agent to secondary call agent and vice versa.
It’s possible display the current active call agent checking the marker “*” character on the call agent list.
The active call agent is the call agent marked with the “*” char.
By default the first call agent in the call agents list is the call agent that iMG/RG/iBG will attempt to contact
firstly.
It’s possible changing the call agent order of preference specifying the attribute master:
voip mgcp callagent set <call-agent-name> master
Only one call agent at time can be master.
