  2. The following status and licensing information is available for review:

Field

Description

Values

MBG Status

Enabled

The status of the MBG server, either Enabled or Disabled.

 

Network profile

The network profile of this MBG. Options include:

  • Server-gateway on the network edge

  • Server-only on the network DMZ

  • Server-only on the network LAN

  • Custom configuration

See Configure Network Profiles.

Security profile

MBG employs SSL security with digital certificates to perform authentication and admission control of all IP Phone connections. Two security profiles are available: Legacy (for 52xx IP Phones, MiCollab Client, and MiContact Center) and Enhanced (for 53xx IP Phones).

See Configuration Settings.

Daisy-chain mode

Indicates whether this MBG daisy chained to an ICP-connected MBG server. By allowing local streaming access among remote offices, this configuration decreases the virtual distance in order to reduce latency and communication delay.

See the MBG Installation and Maintenance Guide.

WAN IPs

The IP address(es) configured on the WAN interface.

 

Set-side streaming addresses

The set-side streaming address, which will vary depending on the network profile.

See Configure Network Profiles.

LAN IPs

The IP address(es) configured on the LAN interface.

 

Icp-side streaming addresses

The ICP-side streaming address, which will vary depending on the network profile.

See Configure Network Profiles.

Third IPs

The IP address(es) configured on the third network interface (if the server is equipped with one).

 

Clustering status

Cluster Status

The status of the local node: whether it belongs to a cluster, and whether it is the master node or a slave node.

 

Manage cluster

Master:

  • Resync cluster

  • Dissolve cluster

 

Slave:

  • Resync with master

  • Take ownership

  • Leave cluster

 

Zone status

Zone name

The name of this cluster zone. By default, the system has one zone, called "Default", but you can configure other cluster zones and then direct devices to use them. You can also rename the "Default" zone.

After configuring a cluster zone, you should select a backup zone to act as a fallback in the event that the MBGs in the cluster zone become unavailable.

 

Backup

The name of the backup zone for this zone (if any).

 

Node status

Node ID

The domain name/system name of nodes in the cluster.

 

Node state

The sync status of this node.

 

Blade Version

MBG software version installed on this node.

 

MiNet devices

The number of phones registered with the node.

 

Connected devices

The number of phones currently connected to the node.

 

Address

The IP address this server uses to communicate cluster events with the cluster.

 

Weight

The weighting factor applied to this node.

 

Connected

ΓΌ indicates that this node is connected to the cluster.

 

License Information

License Information

List the total number of licenses available plus the number of licenses that are currently in use for the local MBG and for the cluster of MBGs. Figures are provided for the following license types:

  • Teleworker licenses

  • Tap licenses

  • SIP Trunk licenses

  • Transcoding licenses

 

Virtualization Support

Indicates whether the "MBG Virtual Appliance" license is enabled, allowing the system to be a deployed in a virtual environment using VMware.

 

IPv6 Support

Indicates whether the "IPv6 License for MBG" is enabled, enabling the system to be configured with IPv6 addresses on its interfaces.

 

Manage MBG Clustering

Clustering enables multiple MBG servers to communicate with one another via TCP, sharing data in order to provide load balancing, scalability and resiliency.

To manage MBG clustering, see the following topics:
