Media Cabling for HA Nodes
NIU media port cabling in an HA node depends on network topology. After a
switchover between the two Acme Packet 4600 s in an HA node, the standby system
sends out an ARP message using a configured virtual MAC address, establishing that
MAC on another physical port on the same Ethernet switch.
