Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI
Replacing GSS Devices in Your GSS Network
–
primary_GSSM_IP_address—
DNS hostname of the device currently
serving as the primary GSSM
For example, to enable gss3.example.com as the standby GSSM and direct it
to the primary GSSM, gssm1.example.com, enter:
gss3.example.com#
gss enable gssm-standby gssm1.example.com
11.
Activate the standby GSSM from the primary GSSM GUI to add it to your
GSS network. See the
“Activating GSS Devices from the Primary GSSM”
section in
Chapter 1,
,
Managing GSS Devices from the GUI
.
You can now use the replacement standby GSSM in your GSS network.
Replacing a GSS in the Network
To replace a malfunctioning GSS in your GSS network, perform the following
steps:
1.
Configure basic network connectivity for the replacement GSS device
following the procedures outlined in the
Cisco Global Site Selector Getting
Started Guide
, Chapter 3, Setting Up Your GSS.
2.
If you want to use the same hostname and IP address of the failed GSS,
determine if you have a backup of the startup-configuration file for that
device as follows:
•
If yes, reload the backup copy of the GSS device startup configuration
settings (see the
“Saving the startup-config and running-config Files”
section).
•
If no, reenter the platform configuration following the procedures outlined in
the
Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide
, Chapter 3, Setting Up
Your GSS.
3.
If this is an existing GSS device, delete it from your GSS network through the
primary GSSM GUI. See the
“Deleting GSS Devices”
section in
Chapter 1,
,
Managing GSS Devices from the GUI
.
4.
Enable your GSS device as a GSS and direct it to the primary GSSM in your
GSS network by entering the
gss enable
command.
The syntax for this command is:
gss enable gss
primary_GSSM_hostname
|
primary_GSSM_IP_address
