Fail-over Device
Select an integrated device to be used as the fail-over gateway. Currently the
Sierra
Wireless AirLink ES450 is supported.
The Sierra gateway must be properly provisioned before first use by initializing the
APN of the installed SIM card. This is done by connecting the Sierra gateway to the
second ethernet port of the SLB, and assigning a static IP address to the SLB port
so that it is in the same subnet as the IP address of the Sierra gateway. Use the
console CLI or web GUI to set the APN of the SIM card. After setting the APN,
power cycle the Sierra gateway and allow it to reboot completely.
The failover feature requires that both Ethernet ports be configured with a static IP
address. Using DHCP on one of the Ethernet ports may overwrite the default route,
interfering with fail-over and fail-back.
Note:
The commands sent to the fail-over device to retrieve status and update the
configuration are shown in the syslog (messages may be displayed under Network
syslog; at the Debug level). If there are errors retrieving status or updating the
configuration, check messages in the Network syslog, the device administrator
login/password, connectivity to the device and the firmware version of the fail-over
device (the minimum required firmware version for Sierra Wireless ES450 is 4.9.2).
When the SLB sends an updated configuration to the fail-over device, it is
recommended to check the SLB syslog, even if the SLB indicates that the update
was successful. Responses from the fail-over device indicating that the device
needs to be rebooted for configuration changes to take effect may also be in the
syslog. The configuration will be resent to the device if any of the fail-over device
settings are changed, or the selected fail-over device is changed from None to one
of the supported fail-over device types.
When a fail-over or fail-back occurs, running applications such as VPN tunnel and
ConsoleFlow will be restarted.
APN of Mobile Carrier For the Sierra gateways, configure the Access Point Name for the mobile carrier.
