Deploying and Redeploying the BorderNet 4000
SBC
Overview
The BorderNet 4000 SBC deployment is the initial setup of the system in a customer
network. It can be done at the customer site or done at Dialogic.
Deployment includes the following steps:
•
Installing the license. Licenses are tied to BorderNet 4000 SBC platforms. You cannot
use one license on a different system.
•
Pairing the two platforms as one system.
•
Completing the initial basic configuration according to the customer network
topology.
Note: The license file can be shipped/emailed separately from the BorderNet 4000 SBC.
Terminology
The following terminology is used to describe the deployment process.
Designated Role
There are two types of deployments:
•
Standalone
•
High Availability (HA)
In a standalone deployment the physical platform has only a primary role.
In HA deployments, each physical platform can have a designated role as “primary” or
“secondary.” Once you assign the role, it cannot be changed unless the system is
redeployed.
Factory Default IP Address
Each BorderNet 4000 SBC is manufactured with a pre-configured factory default IP address
(192.168.0.10). This IP address is used only for the initial access of the platform over the
network. It is removed from the platform after the deployment is completed.
System Management IP Address
The IP Address is used for the management access of the BorderNet 4000 including GUI
access via the web. In the case of an HA configuration this IP Address is shared (floating)
between the platforms.
Utility IP Address
Each platform is assigned its own Utility IP Address which can be used for specific platform
access (for example, FTP, Telnet to specific platform).
This IP address is fixed to the platform. It is not shared.
Note: You cannot use utility IP address to access the management GUI.
