Stratus ftServer 2600, 4500, and 6300 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R638)
Members of an ftGateway group:

Are limited to a maximum of 20 ftServer systems.

Must connect to the same subnetwork through embedded system Ethernet ports,
PCI Ethernet adapter ports, or VTM ports. An ftGateway group can consist of one
of the following:
– Slave systems that run the Windows operating system with no remote
management adapter in a group with an ftGateway system that has VTMs
– Slave systems that have VTMs in a group with an ftGateway system that has
VTMs
N O T E S
1. You cannot mix VTMs and ftServer Access Adapters
in the same ftGateway group. (ftServer Access
Adapters are system management adapters used in
earlier models of ftServer systems.)
2. Make sure that only layer-1 and layer-2 devices
separate the gateway and slave systems. During a
connection, the gateway system assigns the slave
system a temporary IP address from an IP address
range reserved by Stratus and uses that address for
all traffic.
