Important:
For the UDP Director (also known as FlowReplicator) HA, connect the
two UDP Directors by crossover cables. Connect the eth2 port of one
UDP Director (also known as FlowReplicator) to the eth2 port of the
second UDP Director. Similarly, connect the eth3 port of each UDP
Director with a second crossover cable. The cable can be fiber or
copper.
Note:
Be sure to note the Ethernet label (eth2, eth3, etc.) for each port.
These labels correspond to the network interfaces (eth2, eth3, etc.)
that are displayed on, and may be configured from, the Home page of
the Appliance Admin interface.
Note:
You may need to remove the front panel to apply power. The power
supply fans turn on for some models while the system is not powered
on. Check that the LED on the front panel is on.
Be sure to connect the appliance to a UPS. Both power supplies
require power or else the system displays an error.
