precautions.
Issue 05 (2016-09-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 1

HUAWEI SMC2.0
1.1 Introduction to the SMC2.0

This section describes the position and basic functions of the SMC2.0 in videoconferencing.
HUAWEI Service Management Center 2.0 (SMC2.0 for short) is a new generation
videoconferencing service management system developed by Huawei. With its web interfaces
for users with different rights, the SMC2.0 can be used for centralized management on
various devices and resources, including multipoint control units (MCUs), Switch Centers
(SCs), and recording servers, conferences, and conference resources.
1.2 Basic Concepts

Knowing the basic concepts described in this section helps you understand the configuration
and networking plans in this document.
Participant
Participants are SD endpoints, HD endpoints, voice endpoints, software clients, and
telepresence endpoints that can be added to the SMC2.0.
Manageable/Unmanageable
Participants and MCUs can be added to the SMC2.0 as manageable or unmanageable. The
model and software version of a participant or an MCU decide whether the participant or
MCU is manageable or not.
l Manageable: Devices of this type support online configuration, updates, backup, and
configuration restoration, and are able to report alarms to the SMC2.0.
l Unmanageable: Devices of this type are resources for conference scheduling but do not
support online configuration, updates, backup, or configuration restoration.
Auto Detect
Auto detect is one of the methods for adding a device. Manageable participants and MCUs
can be added using this method. Once connected to the network, they automatically report
their address information to the SMC2.0. As an SMC2.0 administrator, you can then obtain
the list of devices that are connected to but not added to the SMC2.0, and add a desired device
to the SMC2.0, without knowing the device IP addresses.
Calling/Called Node
l Calling node: party that initiates a call.
l Called node: party that receives a call.
In a video conference, calling and called nodes can be endpoints or MCUs of various types.
1.3 Common Operations

Knowing common operations on the SMC2.0 facilitates configuration of the SMC2.0 during
deployment.
Figure 1-1 shows the common operations on the SMC2.0.

1.5 Precautions
Keep the following precautions in mind to avoid system exceptions while performing
configuration:
l Do not delete databases without the database administrator's permission.
l Back up files before you modify and delete any of them.
l Change the administrator password at your first login to the SMC2.0, and keep the new
password. Periodically change the password. For more details, see the Quick Start Guide.
l Do not modify the hardware settings of the SMC2.0 server, for example, a parameter for
specifying whether to enable or disable the network adapter. Otherwise, the equipment
serial number (ESN) in the license file is inconsistent with the server ESN.
l Back up database information periodically.

2.2 Preparing Configuration Tools

Before configuration, prepare configuration tools.
Server Peripherals
As only one RH2285 V2 server is delivered in the SMC2.0 package, you need to prepare the
peripherals listed in Table 2-3 for the configuration.
Table 2-3 Peripherals list

Peripheral Description
Mouse Connect to the USB 2.0 port
Keyboard Connect to the USB 2.0 port
Monitor Connect to the DB-15 VGA connector
Power cable Used to connect a monitor to the server
Network cable With two RJ45 connectors
SSH Client
When you are adding MCUs to the SMC2.0, some MCU parameters must be set from the
command-line interface (CLI). In this case, you need an SSH client to access the CLI. As SSH

HUAWEI SMC2.0
command components create an encrypted channel between the application layer and client,
using an SSH client to log in to MCUs improves data security.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Configuration Guide 3 Area Planning
3 Area Planning
Area planning allows videoconferencing services to be managed in a unified manner on the

SMC2.0.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
3.1 What's Zone

A zone is a geographically or virtually defined unit. After zone planning, videoconferencing
services can be managed by zone.
Zone
As a logic entity, a zone can be a geographic location or virtual division. In Figure 3-1, zone
B and zone C are geographic locations, while zone A is a virtual division.
Figure 3-1 Zone division
After zone division is implemented, the following videoconferencing services can be

managed by zone: node registration, node calling, bandwidth allocation, and call bandwidth
control.
You can define the type and rules for each zone. Zone member rules are used to match nodes
with zones, so nodes are allocated to the corresponding zones and applied with applicable
service policies. By default, an SC has two zones: defaultEPZone and defaultZone.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
l defaultEPZone: If a node registered with the local SC does not match any zone based on
the member rules, this node is allocated to the defaultEPZone.
l defaultZone: During a call, if a calling or called node is not allocated to any zone of the
local SC, this node is allocated to the defaultZone.
Service Area
Device resources managed by the SMC2.0 include MCUs and recording servers. To better use
those resources, you can define the area, so called service area, serviced by each MCU and
recording server.
Through service area management, videoconferencing users in a service area have the
precedence in using the device resources in this service area. Each device belongs to one
service area. Figure 3-2 shows a service area management model.
Figure 3-2 Service area management model
You can create service areas based on the geographic locations covered by the
videoconferencing service and following rules:
l Create a service area centered on the area where videoconferencing users and MCUs are
concentrated.
l To reduce costs associated with long-distance calls, it is recommended that the zones in a
service area be adjacent.
l Assign at least one MCU to each service area.
Follow the following steps when defining service areas and allocating device resources:
1. Create and name service areas.

2. Define zones in each service area and assign names and prefixes to the zones.
3. Add devices to the SMC2.0 and assign service area prefixes to the devices.
You can configure backup service areas when the SMC2.0 manages multiple service areas.
Multiple backup service areas can be bound to a main service area. If device resources are
insufficient in the main service area, the SMC2.0 automatically uses resources in the backup

HUAWEI SMC2.0
service areas to schedule conferences. You can set the priorities of the backup service areas to
specify the order of using the device resources in those backup service areas.
Service areas are used as follows:
l If a service area prefix is specified for an MCU or recording server, the MCU or
recording server is a resource of the service area, as shown in Figure 3-8.
l The number of a videoconferencing participant determines whether the participant
belongs to a service area. Each participant number starts with a prefix, and the
participant belongs to the service area with the same prefix.
l When the SMC2.0 is used to schedule a conference, the following rules apply:
– If you select Auto for Active MCU when scheduling a conference, the SMC2.0
behaves as follows: If conference participants belong to the same service area, the
SMC2.0 assigns the MCU in the service area to host the conference. If conference
participants belong to different service areas, the SMC2.0 determines the master
MCU and starts a cascaded conference.
– If a conference supports recording or live broadcast and you select Auto for
Recording server, the SMC2.0 assigns the recording server in the service area
where the master MCU belongs for the conference.
NOTE
l To facilitate unified management of registration, calling, and resource allocation services on the
SMC2.0, it is recommended that service area planning on the SMC2.0 be consistent with that on the
SC.
l If the numbers of device registrations and calls supported by the SMC2.0's embedded SC do not
meet requirements for large video conferences, you can add standalone SCs to the SMC2.0.
Zone Plan Example

A company has branches of different levels in five cities of three provinces. Each branch has
videoconferencing devices deployed. Figure 3-3 shows the zone plan and device deployment
of the company.

NOTICE
A prefix cannot be the same as or start with an existing unified access number, conference
special service number, or unified recording number.
In 3.2 Adding a Zone, 3.3 Adding a Member Rule, and 3.4 Adding a Service Area, city A1
of province A with settings in Table 3-1 is used as an example.
3.2 Adding a Zone

After adding zones, you can manage services by zone.
The following procedure uses the SMC2.0's embedded SC as an example to describe how to
add a endpoint zone:
Step 1 Log in to the SMC2.0 web interface.

4.2 Configuring External Authentication for Standalone

and Built-in SCs
Background
When a device initiates a registration request to the SC, the SC needs to authenticate the
device. For manageable and unmanageable devices on the SMC2.0, they are authenticated by
the SC when being added to the SMC2.0. For external devices that are not added to the
SMC2.0, the SC performs external authentication for them.
Two external authentication modes are available: H.350 and LDAP.
l H.350: The SC requests the external server through H.350 to authenticate the device.
l LDAP: The SC requests the external server through LDAP to authenticate the device.
LDAP authentication is classified into domain account authentication and non-domain
account authentication.
a. Domain account authentication: If you want to authenticate a device through its
domain account, set the external authentication mode to this option.
b. Non-domain account authentication: If you want to authenticate a device through a
non-domain account, set the external authentication mode to this option.
You can configure the SC external authentication mode on the SMC2.0 web interface. The
following describes the procedure.
Procedure
Step 2 Choose Devices > Switch Centers.

4.3.1 Configuring a Local Management Domain

By configuring one or more local management domains for each SC, the management scope
of each SC is specified.
When the SMC2.0 manages multiple SCs, you may not be able to determine the SC with
which each device must register. If you add local management domains for SCs, the SMC2.0
will match a device with a management domain based on the device's alias and determine the
SC with which each device must register. Figure 4-7 shows the working principle of local
management domains.
Figure 4-7 Working principle of local management domains
l If no local management domain is defined for an SC, this SC allows registrations from
all devices.
l After a local management domain is defined for an SC, this SC allows registrations from
only devices covered by the domain. Multiple local management domains can be defined
for one SC.
NOTE
After a standalone SC is added to the SMC2.0, add local management domains for all SCs (including the
embedded SC). This helps ensure that you are sure about the SC to register when adding a device.
To add a local management domain, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Choose Devices > Switch Centers and click the name of the desired SC.
Step 3 On the Local management domain tab, click Add.
Step 4 Set the local management domain parameters described in Table 4-5.

The following procedure describes how to configure Province C as a neighboring zone on
SC1:
NOTE
Configuration of a neighboring zone is uni-directional. Therefore, after Province C is configured as a
neighboring zone on SC1, SC1 can identify Province C as its neighboring zone, but SC2 cannot identify
Province B as its neighboring zone. To enable SC2 to identify Province B as its neighboring zone, add
Province B as a neighboring zone on SC2. To ensure calls are set up successfully, configure neighboring
zones on both SCs.
Step 2 Choose Devices > Switch Centers and click the name of SC1.

4.3.5 Configuring the Inter-Zone Bandwidth

You can configure the inter-zone bandwidth to limit the bandwidth between two zones,
achieving flexible call bandwidth management.
The inter-zone bandwidth management rule is used to limit the single call and total call
bandwidth between any two zones of the SC. When devices in two zones configured with an
inter-zone bandwidth management rule call each other, the SC checks the call, and
disconnects the call that exceeds the specified bandwidth limit.
NOTE
The embedded SC and standalone SC support a maximum of 200 and 1000 bandwidth management rules
respectively.
Different bandwidth management rules between different zones make differentiated call
management possible.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Table 4-9 Example bandwidth

Zone Device Quantity Bandwidth (Mbit/s)
A 30 100
B 28 100
C 5 50
According to Table 4-9:

l Zones A and B support a high bandwidth but contain many devices. You can set the total
bandwidth between zone A and zone B to 100 Mbit/s, and set the single call bandwidth
to 5 Mbit/s. This prevents the failure to set up calls due to the excessive bandwidth usage
of a single call.
l Zone C supports a low bandwidth and contains few devices. You must set the total
bandwidth between zone A and zone C to 50 Mbit/s. The single call bandwidth can be
set to 10 Mbit/s.

4.3.7 Configuring the Media Route

The media route function enables the SC to forward media (video and audio) data between
two nodes that cannot exchange data.
If two nodes registering with the same SC belong to two different zones and the two zones
cannot exchange data with each other due to network disconnection or firewall isolation, you
can configure the media route between the two zones so that the SC can forward media data
for them, as shown in Figure 4-17.
NOTE
l The embedded SC supports a maximum of 60 Mbit/s media route bandwidth.

l The standalone SC supports a maximum of 300 Mbit/s media route bandwidth.

Configuration Guide 5 Basic Settings
5 Basic Settings
This section describes basic settings on the SMC2.0, such as settings of device templates,
participants, MCUs, and recording servers.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
5.1 Setting a Device Configuration Template

The SMC2.0 enables you to preconfigure a template for a type of device. When you add the
same type of device to the SMC2.0 next time, you can use this preconfigured device template
to simply the configuration procedure.
Background
There are two template types: MCU and participant.
l MCU template
Contains H.323, SIP, DNS, and SNMP parameters.
l Participant template
Contains H.323, SIP, DNS, SNMP, time, call, and update parameters.
You can identify different template types by naming the templates, for example 9xxx MCU,
8xxx MCU, H.323 participant, and SIP participant.
When adding several devices of the same type, using a configuration template can simplify
your operations.
Moreover, using the template can protect the parameter settings on the device against manual
changes. If any parameter set on a device is inconsistent with that specified in the
configuration template, the SMC2.0 can change the parameter value to be the same as that in
the template during the SMC2.0's periodical check.
Prerequisites
l The device to add is a manageable device.
l The parameters to be set on the device are the same as those in the template.
Procedure
Step 2 Choose Devices > Template Management.
Step 3 Click Add.

The New Device Configuration Template dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 5-1.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Figure 5-1 New Device Configuration Template
Step 4 Specify Template name and Template Type.

NOTE
Template Type must be specified before you select the configuration items. Otherwise, the selected
configuration item check boxes are cleared after you select a template type.
Step 5 Select the configuration items and click .

The configuration items are added to the right area.
Step 6 Set the configuration items and click Save.
On Template Management, select a template. The information about the template is
displayed on Template Parameters. If this template is used to configure devices, these
devices are listed on Associated Devices, as is shown in Figure 5-2.

HUAWEI SMC2.0

----End
5.2 Configuring a Participant

You can manage a participant on the SMC2.0 once it is added to the SMC2.0.
NOTE
A participant can be connected to a videoconferencing network through the H.323 or SIP protocol. To
ensure flexible communication between the participant and the soft client, it is recommended that you
register a manageable participant with both a GK and a SIP server when adding the participant.
5.2.1 Determining the Adding Method

The model, version, and deployment mode of a participant endpoint determine how the
participant is added to the SMC2.0.
Determine whether a participant is manageable based on the model and version of the
participant endpoint. For details, see Table 5-1.
For a manageable participant, further determine its adding method based on its deployment
mode.
l If the SMC2.0 is deployed before the participant, predefine the participant on the
SMC2.0.
l If the participant is deployed before the SMC2.0, set the network management address
on the participant endpoint, and enable the SMC2.0 to auto-detect the participant.
l If the participant needs to be added to the SMC2.0 because of a site upgrade, add the
participant as a manageable participant to the SMC2.0.

To enable an MCU to allow connections from both SIP and H.323 participants, register the MCU with
both GK and SIP servers when you add the MCU to the SMC2.0.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
5.3.1 Determing the Adding Method

The model, version, and deployment mode of an MCU determine how the MCU is added to
the SMC2.0.
Determine whether an MCU is manageable based on the model and version of the MCU. For
details, see Table 5-8.
For a manageable MCU, further determine its adding method based on its deployment mode.
l If the MCU is deployed before the SMC2.0, set the network management address on the
MCU, and enable the SMC2.0 to auto-detect the MCU.
l If the MCU needs to be added to the SMC2.0 because of a site upgrade, add the MCU as
a manageable MCU to the SMC2.0.

6.4 Configuring the Range Setting Policy

After you configure the range setting policy, the SMC2.0 can then determine the conference
rate based on the number of participants and the participant rate thresholds.
Background
To save MCU transrating resources, divide the conference rate range (128 kbit/s to 8 Mbit/s)
into several subranges and specify audiovisual parameters for each subrange. Any two
neighboring subranges must be adjacent but not overlapping. When a conference is to be held,
the SMC2.0 determines the conference parameters (including the video protocol, video
format, and audio protocol) based on the conference rate and participant parameters
(including the video protocol, video format, and audio protocol) based on the number of
participants and rate range thresholds.
NOTE
Range setting policies are used to adjust rates and parameters for conferences and participants on the
universal transcoding MCU. Now two sets of range setting policies are available: the old set and the new
set. The new set of range setting policies are used to adjust rates of conferences on the universal
transcoding MCU, but do not take effect for parameters of conferences or rates and parameters of
participants.
Prerequisites
The conference and participant parameters for a conference have been set to Auto.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Procedure
To configure the range setting policy, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Choose System > Settings.

The Settings page is displayed.
Step 3 Choose Range Setting Policy, set the parameters shown in Figure 6-6, and click Save.
Figure 6-6 Configuring the range setting policy
NOTE
l Rate ranges provided by the SMC2.0 by default also provide audio and video parameters. The
default settings are recommended. If you really need to modify audio and video parameters, click a
default parameter and select a new one from the drop-down list box. The video format can only be
one of those supported by the specified video protocol. Therefore, you have to specify the video
protocol first and then set the video format accordingly.
l You can click Set Minimum Rate to change the minimum rate of a rate range.
l You can adjust the minimum rate of a rate range to determine the rate range and adjust the number of
rate ranges. After the minimum rate of a rate range is changed, the maximum rate of the next rate
range will be changed accordingly. (By default, the maximum rate of the first rate range is 8 Mbit/s
and the minimum rate of the last rate range is 192 kbit/s.)
----End
Rate Adaptation Rules

The SMC2.0 has two sets of rate adaption rules, that is, an old set and a new set. They adopt
different adaptation policies. The following sections describe their rules and sample tasks in
detail.
6.4.1 Old Rate Adaptation Rules

If old rate adaptation rules are adopted, the SMC2.0 will determine the rate for a participant
following the procedure provided in this section.

Step 1 Determine the rate ranges for a conference and its participants based on their specified rates.
Step 2 Adjust the conference rate and parameters. Use the conference rate specified beforehand and
audiovisual parameters in the corresponding rate range.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Step 3 Adjust the participant rate and parameters. Check whether the number of participants in rate
ranges exceed the thresholds and determine the participant rate and parameters accordingly.
l If the number of participants is no smaller than the threshold, check whether all
participants have the same rate. If yes, the participants still use the rate. If no, all
participants decrease their rates to the minimum in their rate ranges.
l If the number of participants is smaller than the threshold and participants exist in the
next rate range, the participants within the current rate range will use the maximum rate
in the next rate range.
l If the number of participants is smaller than the threshold and the next rate range does
not have any participants, the participants within the current rate range will use the
minimum rate in the next rate range.
l Participant parameters use audiovisual parameters adopted after participant rate is
adjusted. If the value of an audiovisual parameter goes beyond the value range allowed
the participant, the SMC2.0 automatically adjusts the audiovisual parameter to the
maximum value allowed by the participant.
----End
Examples
This section assumes four rate ranges and describes how old rate adaption rules determine the
participant rate.
l Rates are divided into six ranges: [4 Mbit/s, 8 Mbit/s], [1536 kbit/s, 4 Mbit/s), [512
kbit/s, 1536 kbit/s), [192 kbit/s, 512 kbit/s).
l The maximum numbers of participants allowed in ranges 2 and 3 are 4 and 2
respectively.
l The conference has three participants: participant 1 (1920 kbit/s), participant 2 (1152
kbit/s), and participant 3 (1216 kbit/s).
Based on the participants' transmission rates, the SMC2.0 recognizes that participant 1
belongs to range 2, and participants 2 and 3 belong to range 3.
Following the rule for determining the participant rate, the SMC calculates the participant rate
as follows:
1. The number of participants with rates falling into range 2 is smaller than the threshold
set for range 2, so participant 1 in range 2 will decrease its rate to the maximum rate of
range 3 that is, 536 kbit/s.
2. Now three participants reside in range 3. However, only two participants are allowed in
range 3 at most.
3. The three participants have different rates (that is, 1152 kbit/s, 1216 kbit/s, and 1919
kbit/s), so they finally use the lowest one among the three rates, that is, 1152 kbit/s.
As a result, the three participants join the conference all at 1152 kbit/s.
6.4.2 New Rate Adaptation Rules

If new rate adaptation rules are adopted, the SMC2.0 will determine the rate for a participant
following the procedure provided in this section.

HUAWEI SMC2.0

Step 1 Determine the rate ranges for a conference and its participants based on their specified rates.
Step 2 Adjust the conference rate and parameters. Adopt the lowest rate in a rate range as the
conference rate and audiovisual parameters in the rate range.
Step 3 Adjust the rates and parameters for participants.

l If the adjusted conference rate and audiovisual parameters are supported by participants,
they are adopted by the participants.
l If the adjusted conference rate and audiovisual parameters are not supported by
participants, adjust the rates and parameters for the participants as follows:
– If a participant supports audiovisual parameters of the range where the participant
resides, the participant adopts the audiovisual parameters and the minimum rate of
this range.
– If a participant does not support audiovisual parameters of the range where the
participant resides, the SMC2.0 decreases the participant's rate to the next range and
determines whether the participant supports audiovisual parameter of this range. If
supported, the participant adopts the audiovisual parameters and the minimum rate
of this range.
– If a participant does not support audiovisual parameters in any range, the participant
adopts the rate and audiovisual parameters lower than the conference's.
Step 4 Reserve resources for the rate range that does not contain any participants and all its lower
ranges.
During a conference, the conference's capabilities, participants' capabilities, and rate ranges'
capabilities are sorted. The participant that joins the conference later will adopt the maximum
capabilities among the sorted capabilities.
----End
Examples
This section assumes four rate ranges and describes how new rate adaption rules adjust the
rates and parameters of a conference and its participants.
l Rates are divided into six ranges: [4 Mbit/s, 8 Mbit/s] H.264 1080p, [1536 kbit/s, 4
Mbit/s) H.264 720p, [512 kbit/s, 1536 kbit/s) H.264 4CIF, [192 kbit/s, 512 kbit/s) H.264
CIF.
NOTE
New rate adaption rules have nothing to do with thresholds, which will not be described here.
l The conference has a rate of 2 Mbit/s and contains four participants: participant 1 (2
Mbit/s H.264 1080p/720p/CIF), participant 2 (1 Mbit/s H.264 1080p/720p/4CIF),
participant 3 (5 Mbit/s H.264 1080p60/1080p/720p), and participant 4 (5 Mbit/s H.264
720p).
The adaptation procedure is as follows:
l Participant 1 falls into range 2 and supports the adjusted conference parameters, so
participant 1 adopts the rate of 1536 kbit/s and the parameter of H.264 1080p.
participant 2 adopts the rate of 1536 kbit/s and the parameter of H.264 1080p.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
participant 3 adopts the rate of 4 Mbit/s and the parameter of H.264 1080p.
l Participant 4 falls into range 1 but does not support the adjusted conference parameters.
As participant 4 supports audiovisual parameters in range 1, participant 4 is moved to
range 2 but still does not support audiovisual parameters in range 2. Then participant 4 is
moved to range 3, and it supports audiovisual parameters in range 3. Finally, participant
4 adopts the rate of 512 kbit/s and the parameter of H.264 4CIF.
As a result, the conference's rate is 2 Mbit/s H.264 1080p, participant 1's rate is 1536 kbit/s H.
264 1080p, participant 2's rate is 1536 kbit/s H264 720p, participant 3's rate is 4 Mbit/s H.264
1080p, and participant 4's rate is 512 kbit/s H.264 4CIF.
NOTE
The SMC2.0 adopts new rate adaption rules by default. To use old rate adaption rules, access the
SMC2.0 database and change the rule choice. For details, see the Not Commonly Used Configurations.

7.3 Interconnections of Several SMC2.0s

Several SMC2.0s can be interconnected to centrally manage videoconferencing services and
flexibly schedule video conferences across regions.
7.3.1 Scenario Description

If multiple SMC2.0s are deployed, they can be interconnected flexibly.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
To cope with the development of videoconferencing services, device deployment is generally

disparate and regionally centralized. Under this circumstance, the service management
system, namely, SMC2.0, is required to support regional centralized management and flexible
scheduling across regions. In the case that several SMC2.0s are deployed, each two SMC2.0s
can be interconnected, as shown in Figure 7-9.
Figure 7-9 Interconnections of several SMC2.0s
Network Description
l On the SMC2.0 interconnection network, the SMC2.0 manages MCUs and participants
in a unified manner.
l Interconnected SMC2.0s can communicate with each other and schedule conferences
across regions.

Configuring Default Rights for Interconnection Users

Even if you have enabled the interconnection function and configured interconnections, you
still cannot schedule interconnection conferences. The remaining task you must do is to
authorize interconnection users to access organizations on the local SMC.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Configuring default rights for interconnection users actually means configuring organizations
that are accessible to interconnection users on remote SMCs. When scheduling

7.4 SC Two-Node Cluster

In an SC two-node cluster, if an exception occurs on the active SC, services are smoothly
switched to the standby SC, significantly enhancing system reliability.
7.4.1 Scenario
When the SC is deployed in a two-node cluster, services are smoothly switched between the
active and standby SCs to ensure service continuity.
Network
Figure 7-18 shows the network of the SC two-node cluster.

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Figure 7-18 SC two-node cluster
Network Description
l The active and standby SCs are deployed in the same network segment and managed by
the SMC2.0 in a unified manner.
l The active and standby SCs use separate management IP addresses and service IP
addresses, but share the same floating IP address.
l On a network where traversal between public and private networks are allowed, the
active and standby SCs with dual network adapters use floating IP address IP1 to provide
registration and calling services on the private network and use floating IP address IP2 to
provide registration and calling services on the public network.
7.4.2 Data Plan

This topic provides the data plan for the active and standby SCs, helping you quickly
configure them.
Table 7-10 provides the data plan for the two SCs.

NOTE
l To specify the SC where a configuration operation is performed, this section uses SC1 to stand for
the active SC and SC2 to stand for the standby SC. The two SCs are identified as only one SC on the
SMC2.0.
l The management IP addresses, service IP addresses, and floating IP addresses of the active and
standby SCs must reside on the same network segment. (Note: When configuring the active/standby
relationship, ensure that floating IP addresses you select are not occupied.)

The active/standby SC configuration procedure consists of three tasks: configuring the active/
standby working mode, adding the active and standby SCs on the SMC2.0, and importing the
licenses for the active and standby SCs.
Preparing for the Configuration

l Before configuring the active and standby SCs, test the network connection between SC1
and SC2. Ensure that the network is connected.
l Before configuring the active and standby SCs, ensure that the two SCs to be configured
have the same version and have not been configured as the active or standby SC yet. If
the two SCs have been configured as the active and standby SCs, remove the active/
standby relationship between them.
Configuring the Active/Standby Working Mode

NOTE
l After the active/standby relationship is configured for the two SCs, their network settings cannot be
modified.
l When configuring the active/standby relationship, configure SC1 as the active SC and then
configure SC2 as the standby SC.
l When removing the active/standby relationship, run the following command on the standby SC and
then on the active SC.
system-view hot-standby disable

HUAWEI SMC2.0
Step 1 Log in to SC1 and SC2 using the SSH tool. The default user name and password are admin
and Change_Me.
Step 2 Check the license status.
Run the following command to check the license status on SC1 and SC2, respectively. Ensure
that the license statuses on the active and standby SCs are the same, excluding the value of
esnNum. If their statuses are different, the configuration will fail.

Step 3 Change the IP addresses.

Change the IP addresses of lan1 and lan2 of SC1 and SC2 according to the data plan. Take
SC1 as an example.
l If SC1 is preconfigured before delivery, run the following commands:
system-view sys-config network-config lan1 ipv4 address 192.168.1.1 netmask
255.255.0.0 gateway 192.168.1.254
system-view sys-config network-config lan2 ipv4 address 11.11.11.1 netmask
255.255.0.0 gateway 11.11.11.254
l If SC1 is configured onsite:
– When SC1 is installed on a SUSE operating system, run the following command to
change the value of ifcfg-eth0 in /etc/sysconfig/network/:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0

prefix.
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
NOTE
Save the modification and exit. Then run the following command to restart the network for the
modification to take effect:
service network restart
Step 4 Configure the IP address type.

Configure the IP address types for lan1 and lan2 of SC1 and SC2 according to the data plan.
Take SC1 as an example. Run the following commands:
system-view sys-config security-config manage-ip add ip 192.168.1.1
system-view sys-config security-config service-ip add ip 192.168.1.1
After the configuration is complete, ensure that the service IP address types of SC1 and SC2
are the same. Take SC1 as an example. To check the service IP address, run the following
command:
display service-ip
192.168.1.1
FEC0:0:0:0:192:168:1:1
11.11.11.1
FEC0:0:0:0:11:11:11:1
TotalItemNum:4
If the service IP address types or quantities of SC1 and SC2 are different, run the following
commands to delete or add corresponding IP addresses:
system-view sys-config security-config service-ip delete ip 192.168.1.1
NOTE
After deleting or adding an IP address, run the reboot command to restart the SC for the operation to take
effect.
Step 5 Run the following command to set SC1 as the active SC. Table 7-11 describes the parameters.
