DIMETRA IP Mobile Switching Office (MSO)

• A DIMETRA IP system can be a single zone system or it can have more zones,

y
nl
up to 7 zones can form a cluster.

O
se
• All the components that communicate over Ethernet are connected through

U
multiple core LAN switches which provide two separate internal LANs that are

ng
integrated to provide redundant links for critical network traffic.

ni
• Mobile Switching Office is a physical location that contains all the components

ai
Tr
necessary for controlling calls within a zone and for communicating with other

s
zones to manage interzone calls (calls that go between zones).

n
io
• In addition, the MSOs provide the hardware and software components that are
t
lu
used for network management and system configuration.

IP2E1 Converter which will continue running on KVM Hypervisor on Red Hat OS.

O
se
• The Server administration application (iGAS) will run as a Virtual Machine

U
interfacing the hypervisor layer via the native hypervisor API.

• The virtual servers run on top of the hypervisor layer.

ni
ai
– It is transparent for the user that they run on a virtual server.

Tr

– Red Hat Linux 7 and Windows 2012, Windows 10 will be supported.

NIC Teaming Overview

• NIC Teaming is the method of grouping two physical network interface cards into

y
nl
one logical NIC card.

O
se
• Since Core LAN switches in DIMETRA systems are redundant, providing

U
redundant network connections to DIMETRA servers will reduce down time and

ng
enhance service availability.

ni
• NIC Teaming will be supported on Servers only.

ai
Tr
– Routers will not support redundant interfaces, redundant routers are

n s
deployed.

• Servers will configure NET0 and NET3 interfaces as redundant interfaces.
