Introduction

This document covers the configuration procedure on Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) High Availability (HA) HSRP Configuration on ISR-G2 Box-to-Box failover.

 

CUBE Configuration on ISR-G2 Box-to-Box Failover

 

Below configuration tested on Cisco IOS Release 15.1.2T release on ISR-G2 Box-to-Box Failover dual attached.

Troubleshoot


These show and debug commands are useful during troubleshooting of box-to-box redundancy:

 

The following is a summary list of the show commands useful during troubleshooting of B2B HA:

 

show redundancy application group all

show redundancy application transport clients

show redundancy client domain all | inc VOIP RG

show voice high-availability summary

show voip fpi stats

 

show redundancy state

show redundancy inter-device

show standby brief

show standby internal

show sip-ua status

show sip-ua statistics

show voip rtp connection | include connection

show arp

 


The following is a summary list of the debugs useful during troubleshooting of B2B HA:

 

Debug voip rtp session

Debug voice high-availability all

Debug voip fpi all

debug redundancy application group <config | faults | media | protocol | rii |

transport | vp>

 

debug voip ccapi all
debug voip ccapi error
debug voip rtcp session
debug voip rtp error
debug voip rtcp error
debug voice high-availability error
debug ccsip info
debug ccsip messages
debug ccsip media
debug ccsip error
debug standby terse

Hi Muthurani,

Thank you for this good document.

Can we use VRRP instead of HSRP for this same configuration ?

Thank you in advance,

Haitham

Nice Doc.....

One thing to note

bfd should not be configured on HA CUBES - leads to unexpected reloads.

Good Job.

 

However, bfd command MUST NOT be used/configured along with SIP HA config. It will crash the standby router during HA switchover. I personally had to deal with this issue last year with a customer. They had CUBE HA setup, with bfd. Everytime active CUBE failed, the other would fail during switchover as well. Cisco TAC pointed to bfd setup within the CUBE HA config.

Same configuration is applicable on IOS 15.5(M) as well? I referred to Cisco HSRP guide for IOS15.5(M) and the sample configuration shows HSRP configuration on VLAN interface rather on Gigabit interfaces.

Do you know why the interface BFD feature in combination with HA CUBEs is causing reboots? I just had this issue pop up at a customer site and I would like to understand why it is happening.

<B>Symptom:</B>
BFD should not be configured in a CUBE HA deployment. BFD can induce an HSRP switchover that could change the active HSRP interface to be on the standby CUBE HA router.

<B>Conditions:</B>
BFD enabled per:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unified-border-element/112095-cube-hsrp-config-00.html

<B>Workaround:</B>
Remove BFD

there is other way around if you know how to play with eem scripts, and sip ping options :)
