NetStructure 480T Routing Switch User Guide
When both switches are active, each switch performs SLB only for
the VIPs assigned to it. If a switch fails, the other switch takes over
the VIPs assigned to the failed switch.
The basic failover configure command assigns the switchs unit
number:
configure slb failover unit [1 | 2] remote-ip
<ipaddress> local-ip <ipaddress>:<L4Port> {alive-
frequency <seconds> timeout <seconds>} {dead-
frequency <seconds>}
where:
remote-ipSpecifies the IP address of the redundant SLB
switch.
local-ipSpecifies the IP address of the switch you are
configuring.
All VIPs with a given virtual IP address must be assigned to the
same unit.
To assign a VIP to a unit, use this command:
configure slb vip <vipname> unit {1 | 2}
Sample Active-Active Configuration
Figure 18.6 shows an example of an active-active failover
configuration.
