6608 module register to multiple cluster

[vinhnguyen]

I have a 6608 blade. Currently port 8 is registered to a CM cluster running 3.3.4. I want to use port 1 to register to a new cluster running 4.1.3 sr2 and I want to use port 2,3 and 4 for hardware confencing on the new cluster. Is this possible? When hardware conferencing on 6608 module do the E1 ports need to be active or connected? I can't get the conference bridge to register with the new cluster. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you can point the ports to different clusters as each port is independent and can point to different TFTP servers.

As to the conferencing you need to configure it on the CCM as a Cisco conference Bridge hardware type and reference the IP Address. You cannot share the conferening ports among clusters.

Hi Chris

Do I need to reference the MAC address or the IP address? I can't get it to register to the new cluster at all.

What does the switch show when you do "do port x" where X is the module slot of the blade, it should say "Conf Bridge" under type as shown in this doc:

Have you tried resetting the port on the switch, I've see where resetting the entire module balde works.

In callmanager you reference the port by MAC address.
