FIGURE 3.3 Network configuration and IP addresses of the management LAN
Connect the management (USER) ports of MMB#0 and MMB#1 to an external switching hub with LAN cables.
At this time, also connect the MMB console PC to the external switching hub. The MMB console PC is used for
MMB Web-UI operations.
Set the physical IP addresses and virtual IP addresses of MMB#0 and MMB#1 in the same subnet.
Each MMB has the following two addresses:
- Physical IP address (in the above figure, MMB#0 = 192.168.1.100, MMB#1 = 192.168.1.101)
- Virtual IP address (in the above figure, 192.168.1.102)
An external connection (e.g., Web browser, maintenance terminal, REMCS) uses the virtual IP address for
communication.
TABLE 3.4 Required settings for external LAN connections
Condition
Required setting
The external switch used in the
configuration is a switching hub that
supports functions preventing cycling
(e.g., Spanning Tree Protocol,
Domain Separation).
Select [disable] for the spanning tree protocol of the ports of the
switching hub and main unit. Alternatively, set domain separation
to on to disable the functions preventing cycling.
Configuration that meets any of the
following conditions:
- The send destination server
becomes an external server
through the firewall.
- It uses a mail server that
restricts IP addresses.
The firewall or mail server settings must permit packets with the
physical IP address of MMB#0 or MMB#1 to pass.
REMCS connection
The connection patterns are as follows:
