SS7 - Nodes - Secondary Node
- Kelli Higdon
The Secondary Node object assigns an already configured physical node (IMG 2020) to be the Secondary SS7 server node. When configuring SS7 functionality, the physical node (BN 2020) that will be used to process the SS7 signaling is configured as the Primary Node object. If SS7 Redundancy is being configured, a Primary and Secondary Node object is configured. The Secondary Node will initially be configured as the standby node whereas the Primary Node will be configured as the active. The Secondary Node selected will be assigned as the standby SS7 server node and will assume the active role if a failure should occur on the Primary SS7 server node. To create the Secondary Node object, right click on the SS7 Nodes object and select New Secondary.

The Secondary Node is created under the SS7 Nodes object. The Secondary node object assigns the node selected from the drop down menu to be the Secondary SS7 server node. When configuring SS7 Redundancy, the Secondary Node object which is created after the Primary Node is created assumes the role of the Standby SS7 server. A third object under the SS7 Nodes object is labeled Remote Node. This node is created and configured to process remote SS7 CICs. Refer to the links below for more information on each of the Node Types configured under the SS7 Nodes object.
Field Descriptions
Node Name
The Node Name field contains drop down menu displaying all the IMG 2020 nodes created and configured within the Web GUI application. Select from the drop down menu, the node that will be used as the Secondary SS7 server. This node will be assigned as the Secondary/Standby node when SS7 Redundancy is being configured.
Monitoring Fields
State
The State field displays the SS7 Redundancy status of the node selected in the Node Name field. In the screen capture above, Node1 - ID:1 is the Standby node. If a switchover occurs, the state of the standby node will switch from Standby to Active.
