All these IP addresses must be filled in with appropriate values for the network. The
default values set the Magnia SG20 as the server providing these services. These
defaults can be retained unless there is a specific alternate server to be used for one of
these services.
Configuring Multiple Magnia SG20s on a Single Network
One possible use of the advanced networking options is to allow multiple Magnia SG20s
to exist in a single small business network. In this case, all clients require access to both
servers, but some server functions may need to be disabled on one of the two servers.
Before connecting the two servers, make the following configuration changes on the
servers:
1
Turn off DHCP on the second server.
2
On the server with DHCP turned on, make sure there are at least two IPs not
assigned in the range (for example, start the IP range at 192.168.1.3).
3
Assign each server private port an IP from the local IP range. For example, the first
server may be 192.168.1.1, and the second one may be 192.168.1.2.
4
Change the server name of the second server so the two servers have different
names (for example, myserver and myserver2).
The client computers can be connected to either of the built in switches.
Once the servers have been configured, connect them using ports on their built in
switches. An example of this configuration is shown below:
