3.9.9 Setting the Takeover IP Address


3.9.9 Setting the Takeover IP Address
To set the takeover IP address (virtual IP address) for the master XSCF and standby XSCF, use the setnetwork command.
  1. Execute the shownetwork command to display information on all XSCF network interfaces.
XSCF> shownetwork -a
  1. Display information on the takeover IP address of XSCF-LAN#0 or XSCF-LAN#1.
    The following example displays information on the takeover IP address of XSCF-LAN#0.
XSCF> shownetwork lan#0
lan#0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:12:34:56
inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Base address:0xe000
  1. Set the takeover IP address of XSCF-LAN#0 or XSCF-LAN#1.
    The following example sets the takeover IP address 192.168.11.10 and net mask 255.255.255.0 for XSCF-LAN#0.
XSCF> setnetwork lan#0 -m 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.10
  1. Execute the applynetwork and rebootxscf commands to reflect the XSCF network interface settings made.
Note - You can also reflect the SSCP IP address, XSCF host name, XSCF domain name, XSCF routing, DNS for the XSCF, and other settings made, by executing the applynetwork and rebootxscf commands.
XSCF> applynetwork
The following network settings will be applied:
bb#00 hostname :hostname-0
bb#01 hostname :hostname-1
DNS domain name :example.com
nameserver :10.23.4.3

interface :bb#00-lan#0
status :up
IP address :10.24.144.214
netmask :255.255.255.0
route : -n 0.0.0.0 -m 0.0.0.0 -g 10.24.144.1
(Omitted)
XSCF> rebootxscf -a
The XSCF will be reset. Continue? [y|n] :y
  1. The XSCF reboot disconnects the XSCF session, so log in again.
  1. Execute the shownetwork command, and confirm the XSCF network interface information.
