Redundant circuit-switched signaling
You can configure a different IP address for SIP, RTP, and so on. In order to properly
separate the traffic, you need to assign each predefined IP network to a specific traffic type.
Since the Vision Server has a limited number of network interfaces, it is also possible to
enable VLAN tagging on the server’s configured network interfaces to provide proper
network isolation.
Ethernet redundancy is configurable through the Dialogic® Vision™ Console. You can
configure Ethernet bonding; create interface aliases; enable on-host and on-board VLAN
tagging; and assign traffic types to configured interfaces.

Ethernet redundancy concepts
Ethernet bonding is used to link two physical Ethernet ports on the host in a redundant
manner. The Vision Server implements bonding in an active-backup configuration. Only one
port in the bond is the active port; the other port serves as a backup if the active port fails.
Bonding is enabled by assigning a bond interface to two physical interfaces.
An interface alias is used to link multiple IP addresses to a single physical network interface.
This is also known as multi-homing. An interface alias is enabled by assigning multiple IP
addresses to a single interface. Up to 16 aliases are supported per interface.
A virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that
communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain regardless of their
physical location. VLAN is used to enable network splitting or network isolation. Assigning a
VLAN ID (also called VLAN tagging) to each virtual interface allows each interface to be
isolated. The Vision Server follows the IEEE 802.1Q standard for VLAN tagging.
