In a HA configuration, three IP addresses are used for each cluster interface.
One IP address per interface is defined for each SMC device in the cluster,
and a third is a floating Virtual IP used by the routers for directing traffic. You
can specify these values and apply prior to actually joining the second device
to the cluster. These additional values are ignored until high availability is
turned on.
1 On the first SMC, start a console terminal and login as admin.
2 For each Interface in the cluster, except management, specify two
additional IP addresses -- one for the physical interface on the second
SMC, and a second as a virtual router IP. The example in this procedures
shows how to set the IP address of the physical interfaces and virtual IP
on the intranet zone. All three addresses need to be in the same subnet.
Each zone further needs to have a unique virtual router id.
• CLI command sequence:
/cfg/net/if intranet/ip2 n.n.n.n
/cfg/net/if intranet/vrrp/vip n.n.n.n
/cfg/net/if intranet/vrrp/vrid 1
• Web UI command sequence:
Multimedia Security > Security Zones > intranet > Interface > IP
Address for Host 2
Multimedia Security > Security Zones > intranet > Interface >
Virtual IP
Multimedia Security > Security Zones > intranet > Interface >
Virtual Router ID
Note: Each virtual router interface gets a unique vrid, which is used to
generate the virtual router MAC address.
3 Repeat the command in step 2 for the TLAN, ELAN, MSCLAN, and
Server LAN subnets as configured.
4 Apply the changes:
• CLI: Enter
apply
• Web UI: Click apply .
End of Procedure
Result: The first SMC is preconfigured. You can now join the two SMCs.
