How to Configure 1:1 Redundancy with Fail Over
•
Given an FX-4000/FX4010 ADC named ‘
PrimAdc
’ installed and operating in “in-line mode”
eth2/eth3) using eth0 as a management port.
•
Add a new FX-4000/FX4010 ADC appliance named
‘Adc2nd’
for 1:1 redundancy with fail over.
1.
Cable the ADC appliances:
a) Connect
PrimAdc/Adc2nd
auxiliary (eth1) ports with cross-over cable
b) Remove
PrimAdc
eth3 port connection (Wan) and plug it into
Adc2nd
eth3 (Wan) port
c) Use cross-over cable and connect
PrimAdc
’s eth3 to
Adc2nd
eth2 (LAN) port.
2.
Browse to Adc2nd:
Configuration->Host Settings:
a) Set ‘Host name’ to Adc2nd
b) In ‘Host File Entries’ add the following lines:
10.1.1.10 PrimAdc.com PrimAdc
10.1.1.11 Adc2nd.com Adc2nd
Click ‘Save’
3.
Browse to Adc2nd:
Configuration->Management ->Network interfaces
Set Auxiliary Interface
‘Ip v4Address’ = 10.1.1.11 ‘Subnet mask’ = 255.255.255.0
Click ‘Save
4.
Browse to
PrimAdc: Configuration->Management ->Network interfaces
Set Auxiliary Interface
‘Ip v4Address’ = 10.1.1.10 ‘netmask’ = 255.255.255.0
Click ‘Save’
5.
Browse to
PrimAdc: Configuration->Host Settings
In ‘Host File entries’ add the following line
10.1.1.11 Adc2nd.com Adc2nd
10.1.1.10 PrimAdc.com
Click ‘Save’

auth 1
1 sha1 0509160a630240f400ec5e389c942422
The ‘Save’ action will synchronize
PrimAdc
’s configuration with
Adc2nd
.
7. On Adc2nd browse to:
a) FX Series Application Delivery Controller-> Configuration->Redundancy
Verify that ‘Authentication Key’ matches that shown on the
PrimAdc.
Note:
If the Keys do not match, copy and paste the Authentication Key from
PrimAdc
to
Adc2nd
then click ‘Save’ on
Adc2nd.\
