not be needed on the primary router as if it was up it would have the phone

the time routing calls from the PSTN to the primary router under normal
operation. In the case where the primary router has failed then the phones
would register and create more specific dial peers which would route the call
locally to the phones. Does that sound correct?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Each router would have dial-peers pointing to the other router for each set.
There is a default setting (in SRST anyways) that prevents a routing loop via
H323.<br>
<br>
I had a similar question, and it was discussed briefly on the list. One of the
Cisco folk told me about the routing loop prevention. That's key. Because it's
on by default, it helps.<br>
<br>
Here's a press release talking about it (in very general terms). <br>

color:#1F497D'>Even if the configurations are synchronized which would allow
for the phones to register with either router, how would the calls from the
PSTN be handled? If a call was received on the router that was not the
primary it would see the phone as not being registered and forward to voice
mail. There needs to be some method of having the routers communicate
with each other similar to a publisher and subscriber. I have not been
able to find anything to allow for this communication. Can the second
router be configured with SRST? But that still leave the question on the
PRIs, if both are connected to the primary router and it fails then you are
left with no connection to the PSTN.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I've never tried to do this, but
the only way I could think to do this is using HSRP on the FE interface. this
is assuming that the HSRP address can be used as the source-address for the CME
system. <br>
<br>
This would make proper documentation and config sync a critical process though.
