Dial-Peer with 2 voice port

[lveraza]

Hi, actually we have this voice network:

Branch -PBX - Router - WAN - Router - PBX - Core,

(E&M) (1 NM-HDV, with 2 E1, only one port is working now)

Now, we are lookig for a redundancy, first step, using both port

Branch - PBX - Router - WAN Router - PBX - Core

(2 E1 port working)

How can i have one dial-peer working for 2 port ?, if fails one, can work over another

Best regards, Luis.

Hi Luis

You can't have one dial-peer pointing at two ports, but you can set up two identical dial-peers with different tag numbers.

Then set preference on each to set the priority:

dial-peer voice 1 pots

port 1

preference 1

... other commands....

dial-peer voice 2 pots

port 2

preference 2

.... other commmands....

The preference 1 is the highest (it's default, so it may not show up on your config) and pref 2 dial-peer will only be used if all channels on dial-peer 1 are in use or down.
