Using Eiconcard Routing Services

page 36

The circuit entries you define for Routing Services are bound to the Routing Services

call-directory entries, depending on availability. Only when the circuit entry is associated with

a call-directory entry can you attempt to establish a connection. Routing Services then

allocates an open subnetwork circuit to the call-directory entry as needed during the

connection. It is recommended that you match both the maximum number of call-directory

entries and the maximum number of subnetwork circuits to the number of connections that

you plan to have. For more information on configuring call-directory entries and subnetwork

circuits, refer to

Configuring Eiconcard Connections for Linux on page 15.

For more information about creating circuit entries, refer to Testing Your Installation on

page 40. For more information on the options used for creating circuits, consult

/opt/dialogic/c4l/docs/mprif.html.

Creating Backup Circuit Entries

You can create primary and backup circuits, so that if the primary circuit fails, the backup

circuit will ensure that the connection is not lost. The backup connection remains inactive until

the primary connection fails.

You must meet the following criteria to use primary and backup circuits:

• You must define a primary connection before defining a backup connection.

• Only one backup connection may be assigned per primary connection.

• The primary and backup connection must both use the same subnetwork protocol—X.25,

for example.

• A primary connection and its backup can use the same Eiconcard port, or two different

ports. If they use two different ports, both ports must be part of the same Eiconcard. Only

the logical connection is being backed up when the primary and backup circuits use the

same port.

• Backing up a PPP (point-to-point) connection or a permanent X.25 connection requires the

use of separate ports for the primary and the backup circuit. It is the physical link that is

backed up in these cases.

The connection backup feature works when it is used on both sides of the connection. You

cannot back up only half of a connection. If you back up system A’s connection (the circuit it

uses to connect to system B), system B’s connection to system A (the circuit configured on

system B) must also be backed up. To properly back up a connection between two systems,

you must configure a total of four circuits: a primary, and a backup on both systems.

For more information about backing up circuit entries, refer to Testing Your Installation on

page 40. For more information on the options used for creating circuits, consult

/opt/dialogic/c4l/docs/mprif.html.

Configuring Multiple Interfaces

Routing Services provides up to five WAN interfaces. These interfaces enable the establishment

of routes to multiple subnetworks simultaneously, offering a complete internetworking

solution. The five interfaces are configured in the mpr.if file. Each interface requires an

interface name, an IP address, and a network mask address. The interface names eic0 to eic4

identify the five Routing Services interfaces used by Dialogic.

A symbolic name can also be configured for each interface in the mpr.if file, which is stored

in the /etc/hosts file and can be used when specifying entries for the IP-routing table, though

this is optional. For more information on the IP-routing table, see

IP Routing Tables on page 38
