Cabling for HA Deployments
The information and instructions in this section explain how to cable an HA node.
HA Cabling
Category 5 (or higher) shielded Ethernet cables are required for cabling two HA
nodes together.
Rear Panel Cabling You can use one or two connections for HA redundancy support between the two
members of an HA node. Using two rear interfaces for sharing redundancy
information provides a high level of reliability. As a rule, Mgmt0 should be reserved
as the boot/maintenance interface. This leaves Mgmt1 and Mgmt2 available for
sharing HA information.

Management network ports feature automatic crossover negotiation so that a
crossover cable is not necessary for HA cabling.
To cable Acme Packet 4500s in an HA configuration using single rear interface
support:
1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into either Mgmt1 or Mgmt2 on the rear
panel of the SBC1. The release tab on the RJ45 jack clicks into place when you
insert it properly
