Join SD-WAN Network on Redundancy Server

In a cross-region disaster recovery scenario, a Redundancy Server can join the SD-WAN network created by the Working Server. With disaster recovery in place, the Redundancy Server can replicate telephony data from Working Server and take over telephony services if the Working Server goes down.

Requirements and restrictions

Requirements
Both servers in a disaster recovery pair must meet the following requirements:
Item Requirement
Product Model Yeastar P-Series Software Edition
Plan Ultimate Plan
Version Same firmware version and must be 83.12.0.57 or later.
Network
  • LAN port as the default Ethernet interface and a static IP address is required.
  • Accessible to Yeastar SD-WAN node (sdwantunnel.yeastar.com).
External Storage Identical storage device settings and mounting points.
Restrictions
Item Quantity
Max. SD-WAN network that can create or join (per PBX) 1
