Use the DNS SRV records for the Desk phones. Phones automatically register
to the back server. Look into the DNS Srv records. You can specify the
priority.

 

Use the DNS SRV for the phone registration. I use Polycom and Cisco. 

 

Aastra phones... have bug in the firmware using DNS Srv records.

Hi All,

 

I have a question concerning FS failover for high availability. My SIP
provider offers the ability to route to a second server if the primary is
down.  That is simple enough, but what about the phones?  The desktop
devices are not registered with the back FS server.

 

The only idea I have so far would be to change the DNS addresses to the
backup upon failure, but that can take a long time to propagate to the
phones.  

 

How do other people handle this issue?

 

Thanks,

Sean
