RM Redundancy Setup - Redundancy Configuration Instructions
Special
Notes
on
Routes
•
Imagine Communications’ multicast management traffic (used for redundancy management) is
sent to the multicast group on 225.0.0.38.
•
If the default gateway that you configured in
Option 1
was for an interface other than what is
assigned as the management interface, then
Option 2
must also be used to configure an entry for
225.0.0.38 on the management interface.
Caution!
If more than one interface is configured and the management interface does not have a
default gateway configured, without adding the 225.0.0.38 address to the management
interface the redundancy multicast management traffic will use the interface containing the
default gateway instead of the management interface, which will cause redundancy to fail.
For more information on communication protocols and their respective ports, refer to
Node Configuration” on page 27

, however, the name of this interface depends upon the particular hard-
