Integrated Session Border Controller High Availability

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers include the Cisco ASR 1002 , Cisco ASR 1004 , and Cisco ASR 1006 Routers. The different models support different types of redundancy. Integrated Session Border Controller supports the redundancy available on each model.

On the Cisco ASR 1002 and Cisco ASR 1004 Routers, only software redundancy is available. These models have dual Cisco IOS software modules running on the same Route Processor, with one active and the other in standby mode.

The Cisco ASR 1006 Routers offer dual hardware redundancy and software redundancy.

Integrated SBC high availability is provided in the standard image for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers. There is no special configuration required.

For additional information, see the “High Availability Overview” section in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide. Also see the Cisco IOS High Availability Configuration Guide for information on high availability features that are on other Cisco platforms and that work identically on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
