Configuring the High Availability Feature for X.25 over LLC2
Chapter 3 85
Step 1. T
o configure the standby device and the unique MAC address in the
co
nfiguration file of the XOL primary interface, modify the following
syntax:
Standby_device <standby LAN card name> # used for local
failover
XOL_floating_macaddr <unique MAC address>
NOTE Local failover is automatically enabled by defining a standby_device in
the configuration file. If you do not require the local failover feature for
this interface, you must de-configure the standby_device by removing or
commenting the line in the configuration file. The standby XOL interface
inherits the configuration of the primary XOL interface during failover
because the same configuration file is used to configure the XOL
interface.
Example 3-5 Configuring Standby Device and Unique MAC Address
If the asumptions in the XOL configuration file are the following:
• The primary LAN card is lan0
• The standby LAN card is lan1
• The MAC address is 0x0060B0A4EbE5
Then, the XOL HA parameters take the following values:
standby_device lan1
XOL_floating_macaddr 0x0060B0A4EBE5
NOTE In the event of a failover, the XOL_floating_macaddr is moved from the
primary LAN card to the standby LAN card. HP recommends that you
use the primary and standby LAN cards only for the XOL links
configured with HA feature.
Step
2. To initialize the XOL HA interface with local failover support, run the
fo
llowing command:
