Viewing Federated Connections
To view the current federated connections being managed by the Expressway-E:
1.
On the Expressway-E, go to Status > Unified Communications.
2.
Click View federated connections in the Advanced status information section.
This shows all the current connections passing through that Expressway-E.
It displays the IP Address of the client, and the Direction (Incoming or Outgoing) of the communication.
Connections are closed after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Note that in clustered systems:
■
An aggregated view is not displayed; only connections routed through the current peer are displayed.
■
In 2-way connections, the inbound and outbound communications may be managed by different peers.
