Good Day,
I am about to setup a 3CX failover solution but have a few questions. In this case, the client has one location which currently has an on site 3CX install. As I see it, in order for me to have the benefits of the failover, I would have to install the second 3CX server (passive) at the same location. Is this correct?
I was hoping to install the passive server at a data center. However, if the active server fails and the passive comes up, the phones will be useless.
Or in this case, do I install the active and passive servers and use SBCs to connect to them. This way, if the active fails, then the passive will become active and the SBCs will connect.
It would be good to hear what others are doing with their failoves design.
Is my thinking on this correct. I wish I could find some more information on it.
Thanks for your input.
