Assign IP Addresses
The 10/100 Ethernet management interface is the communication channel
between the HA4000 and SMC. To securely manage the HA4000, its management
interface must be correctly configured.
There are potentially three IP addresses to configure, using the
ip address
command, on the management port:
z
The 10/100 Ethernet management port
IP address
identifies the HA4000
gateway to SMC. This is used for remote configuration of the HA4000 and
SNMP-based performance monitoring.
z
The
subnet mask
is the portion of the IP address that identifies the network
or subnetwork for routing purposes.
z
The
default gateway
, assigned only when the HA4000 and SMC are on
different subnets, identifies the local router port on the same subnet as the
HA4000 gateway’s management port. The HA4000 sends all packets to the
specified router to be forwarded to SMC.
Note:
If the HA4000 gateway’s management port is directly connected to SMC,
the host’s IP address and the management port IP address must be on the same
subnet.
Configure the Management Port Default Gateway
When the HA4000 and SMC are on different subnets, the HA4000 uses a default
gateway to route packets to SMC.
In Figure 3-1, Network Management Host #1’s IP address is 192.168.1.10. The
HA4000 #1’s management port (192.168.10.10) is not on the same subnet as the
management host. To successfully route packets between HA4000 #1 and
Network Management Host #1, the local port on Router #1 is its default
gateway (192.168.10.1).
