Installing Ridgeline on a Multi-Homed Server
A multi-homed server has more than one network interface card (NIC) installed and might be using
multiple IP addresses. If you are installing Ridgeline on a multi-homed server, you must specify either
the IP address or hostname that Ridgeline clients should use when communicating to the Ridgeline
server. You also specify which IP address Ridgeline should use when communicating with managed
devices, or simply let Ridgeline choose the IP address automatically.
Ridgeline 3.1 provides a Ridgeline Server Setup Utility that simplifies the process of configuring
Ridgeline interfaces. The configuration options are:
●
Select a single IP address for communication with Ridgeline clients and network devices. Other host
IP addresses are unused by Ridgeline. Although this is a valid Ridgeline setting, and is presented in
the setup utility, it is not useful for multi-homed systems because it only utilizes a single interface.
●
Set a hostname that Ridgeline clients can use to communicate with the Ridgeline server, and let
Ridgeline choose the IP address to communicate with network devices.
●
Set a hostname that Ridgeline clients can use to communicate with Ridgeline, and specify an IP
address that Ridgeline uses to communicate with network devices.
To configure Ridgeline for multi-homed servers:
1
Stop the Ridgeline server. See
“Starting and Stopping the Ridgeline Server” on page 41
.
2
Start the Ridgeline Server Setup Utility:
●
On a Windows system, from the Start menu go to:
Programs > Extreme Networks > Ridgeline3.1 > Server Setup Utility
●
On Linux, the server setup utility from symbolic link is in
/root/ExtremeNetworks/
Ridgeline3.1/Server Setup Utility
.
The Ridgeline Server Setup Utility dialog box opens.
