Folks,
I been playing with soft conference bridge load balancing today.
I done the following steps
1. create a MRG - soft-only-cfb
2. put in soft cfb from SUB first and PUB second
3. Create MRGL - softCFB
4. configured HQ phones to use this MRGL
5. created two meet-me numbers 2700, 2701
test 1: create CFB meet-me number 2700 - goes to SUB CFB
hang up
test 2: create CFB meet-me number 2701 - goes to SUB CFB again
hang-up
test 3: create CFB 2700 - goes to SUB, while 2700 is active, create
meet-me 2701, - this one goes to PUB automatically.
And, I see that the PerfMon is showing 2 resources used out of 48 being
used on both SUB and PUB.
I just want to confirm that this is the way that the CFB load balancing
suppose to work?
Can someone confirm this??
Thanks...

Hi,
I had the same issue and posted a request @
http://www.onlinestudylist.com/pipermail/ccie_voice/2009-April/011277.html.
As for as I understand from the behavior, load balance works only
when an active conference. Put all the SW CFB’s in one MRG. Make a
conference in HQ phones and it uses Pub CFB. Now make a conference in
site B and it uses Sub CFB. Now, stop conference in HQ and restart it
again, it uses Pub CFB.
Now, you can see 2 CFB resources used in Pub and 1 used in Sub.
Which is what I obsereved after spending lots of time with
configuration and SRND.
If someone knows better idea, please share it with me. Also let me
know if it works for you.
Best regards,
Prabahar

Remember that the SW conference bridges only support G711.

Put them in the same MRG, and it's automatic from there.

Hello,
I have an interesting requirement. I need to have the conference
bridges
on the pub and sub be available to all phones, but I need each
conference to be set up on each bridge in a round robin fashion. For
example HQ phone 1 starts an ad hoc conference, that conference would
be
on the sub conference bridge. The next ad hoc would occur on the pub.
Then after that on the sub again.
Is accomplishing this as simple as having both conf devices in the
same
Device Pool / MRG / MRGL? or is there more that needs to be done?
Chris
