7.5.3 Setting a Takeover IP Address


7.5.3 Setting a Takeover IP Address
You can set a takeover IP address (virtual IP address) for a system that consists of multiple SPARC M12-2S units and has multiple XSCFs.
The setting of the takeover IP address enables takeover of the IP address after master-and-standby switching in cases of XSCF failover. By using the takeover IP address, users can always connect to the master XSCF without any need to pay attention to XSCF switching.

After setting the respective IP addresses for XSCF-LAN#0 and XSCF-LAN#1, as described in "7.5.2 Setting an Ethernet (XSCF-LAN) IP Address," set one takeover IP address for each pair of XSCF-LAN#0 and XSCF-LAN#1. (See Figure 7-2)
  1. Set the takeover IP address of XSCF-LAN#0 or XSCF-LAN#1.
    The following example sets the takeover IP address 192.168.1.z and net mask 255.255.255.0 for XSCF-LAN#0, and the takeover IP address 192.168.2.c and net mask 255.255.255.0 for XSCF-LAN#1.
XSCF> setnetwork lan#0 -m 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.z
XSCF> setnetwork lan#1 -m 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.c
