-FreeSBC 1+1 requires a second hardware unit/instance to provide high availability and redundancy support in active/standby configuration mode. For virtual machines setup, this can be a second instance on the system, while baremetal setup requires a separate hardware unit, that acting as the secondary unit ideally with the same resource as the primary unit to provide same performance during active/standby failover.  The secondary FreeSBC unit must have the same network devices configuration as the primary FreeSBC unit. See [[FreeSBC]] for different installation guides for the same requirement of secondary FreeSBC setup.

-Although a single control network is sufficient to achieve the 1+1 function, it is not recommended by TelcoBridges FreeSBC unless the operator fully controls all network segments and can guarantee it can never fail at both the physical/virtual and routing (IP) layer.  In most cases, having two separate control networks going through independent network devices, switches and routers is the only way to ensure 'no single point of failure'.

-Once all networks have been physically (or virtually) connected to the FreeSBC instance, the system can be started.  Upon first bootup at FreeSBC Initial Configuration (see [[TSBC-SW:WebPortal:Initial Configuration|Web Portal Initial Configuration]]) with indication for requirment to connect secondary FreeSBC unit to the FreeSBC system (or after an operator initiated 'network device role' reset), the FreeSBC web portal will show a network device assignation page.   This page is used to identify the role of each detected devices.  As described above, the role can be any of the following three: control, management or VoIP traffic (named LAN/WAN).   Once the role is selected, the operator can enter a name for each.  In case of FreeSBc 1+1 setup, 'ctrl0'/'ctr1' role assignment is required to be done on one or two network device. Every configured/detected network device will then appear as a 'physical port' in the 'IP Interace' tab in the web portal.
