Configuring MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance network settings
When configuring Ethernet ports, be aware of the following conditions:
• In Normal mode, when each Ethernet port is active and assigned a different IP address, both
ports are reachable through either IP address even if the cable is disconnected from one of the
interfaces.
• In Failover mode, the secondary Ethernet interface becomes bonded to the primary Ethernet
interface and both are referred to as a single bond0 interface. As a result, the same set of values
applies to the single bond0 interface.
• In Bridge mode, both the primary and secondary Ethernet interface become disabled. In
addition, security settings are no longer managed by the MergePoint SP manager. Instead, the
user must configure any required security settings from the service processor attached to the
MergePoint SP manager.
