Chapter 5: Setting the Initial Configuration

NOTE: The Juniper Networks database must be running before you start configuring the SRC software.

Typically, you run the database in standalone mode only in testing environments. In standalone mode, the database does not communicate with other Juniper Networks databases; there is no data distribution and no redundancy. In community mode, databases distribute data changes among specified databases. When you have two or more C-series platforms, enable the Juniper Networks database to run in community mode, and assign a role to each database:

Primary role—A database that provides read and write access to client applications. It replicates its data and distributes changes to any Juniper Networks databases configured as neighbors.

Secondary role—A database that provides read access to client applications. If client applications try to write data to this database, the database refers the client to a primary database.

In the following example, a standalone database is enabled. For more information about community mode, see SRC–PE Getting Starting Guide, Chapter 10, Managing the Juniper Networks Database.

To enable a Juniper Networks database to run in standalone mode:

1.From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the Juniper Networks database.

user@host# edit system ldap server

2.Enable standalone mode.

[edit system ldap server] user@host# set stand-alone

Configuring Hostname and Domain Parameters

To set hostname and domain parameters:

1.Enter configuration mode. root@host> edit

2.Configure the hostname.

[edit]
