Configuring SIP SLB

SIP server health monitoring
There are two types of SIP servers of particular importance — SIP proxy servers and SIP registrar
servers. The ServerIron supports advanced UDP layer-7 application health checks for both server
types.
ServerIron switches can be enabled to send REGISTER or OPTION messages to SIP servers to track
their health. When an error-free response status (default is 200 OK) is received, then the
ServerIron marks the SIP server as being available, and starts assigning new SIP sessions to the
available servers.
The switches can also be configured to send health monitoring messages at user-defined
frequency and retrial attempts. Our unique system architecture allows a dedicated processor for
health monitoring and device management, which significantly increases the reliability and
efficiency of health monitoring and therefore improves the overall service availability. By default,
200 OK is considered a valid response code. Optionally, you can configure the switch to accept
other response codes that indicate a healthy and available server.
SIP messages with specific SIP methods are switched to the appropriate SIP server. As an example,
REGISTER messages are forwarded only to the SIP registrar server; whereas INVITE messages are
distributed among SIP proxy servers.
Configuring SIP SLB
Load Balancing SIP over UDP (Stateless SLB mode)
The following sections discuss SIP over UDP.
Configure a SIP proxy server and enable health check
Follow the steps given below to configure a real SIP proxy server and its health check.
1. Configure a real server and IP address for a proxy server and enter the real-server
configuration mode.
ServerIronADX(config)# server real proxy-server-1 1.1.3.1
Syntax: [no] server real <name> <ip address>
2. Specify the SIP port.
ServerIronADX(config-rs-proxy-server-1)# port sip
Syntax: [no] port sip
NOTE
You can specify SIP port number 5060 or the keyword SIP.
3. Specify a proxy-server and a health-check method with options.
ServerIronADX(config-rs-redirect-server-1)# port sip sip-proxy-server
health-check-method options
Syntax: port sip [sip-proxy-server] [health-check-method register|options]
[health-check-no-dsr]
