224 Avaya VPNmanager Configuration Guide Release 3.7
By selecting the member in the table, the following actions can be performed:
●Edit - This action allows the member to be edited.
●Update - This action allows the selected member configuration to be updated. If you
suspect that a passive member does not have the most current configuration for the HA
group, use the Update button to update the passive member’s configuration. Using Update
revises the configuration on the passive member to match the active member’s index
number.
●Active - This action allows a passive member to become active. A trap is generated when
there is a change in status in the HA group. VPNmanager is notified through the trap that a
change in status has occurred and updates the Member table accordingly.
●Delete - This action allows the member to be deleted from the HA group. VPNmanager
notifies the member that it is no longer part of the HA group.
●Add - This action allows a new member to be added to the HA group. The minimum
configuration of a new member is the public and private IP addresses. By default, the
primary IP address is used as the management address when communicating to the
member.
Configuring high availability

Creating a High Availability Group

Use the following procedure to create High Availability (HA) groups:

1. Create a new security gateway Object that includes in the HA group.
For additional information on creating a new security gateway object, see Configuring a
security gateway on page 57.
Note:
Note: Because configuration within the HA group is identical, only the primary security
gateway of the HA group is displayed.
2. After the security gateway is created, select the security gateway from the
Device>Contents column.
3. Click the High Availability tab to bring it to the front.
4. Click the Enable High Availability check box to enable High Availability on the security
gateway.
5. Enter the Virtual Addresses for the public and the private interfaces. Configuring the virtual
addresses in this manner ensures that any member in the HA group has the same
configuration.
