IP Network Redundancy and Security

General

The MGU2 is supporting IPv4 and it is also supporting IPv6 in the MX-ONE 6.0 release or later versions. The IP version configuration combination can be IPv4 only or both versions IPv4 & IPv6. The factory default configurations do not contain any IPv6 settings except for the IPv6 Local Link (LLC) address which will be set at boot up.

Note: This means that if you want to use security (encryption) you cannot use IPv6.

The control interface and the media interface parameter for IPv6 should be configured using MX-ONE Service Node’s media gateway control and media gateway interface commands.

The NV parameter names for these interfaces are:

eth0_ip6 (control interface)

eth2_ip6 (media interface)

Note: The LLC address is only visible in the Linux network configuration information and not visible in the MGU2’s NV parameter area.

The MGU2 also support 2 types of network redundancy:

Switched (Ethernet) redundancy (Link Fail Over).
Subnet (IP) redundancy

Note: Subnet redundancy is not supported in MX-ONE release 6.0 or later version.

The MGU2 also supports Server redundancy by allowing a standby server to take over the MGU2 from the ordinary server.

The MGU2 supports both media security (SRTP) and IP signaling security (IPsec).
