Configuring Shelf-Controller Redundancy (APX 8000)
Configuring the APX 8000 for shelf-controller redundancy
Assigning the system IP address
To configure an APX 8000 that has redundant shelf controllers, you must map system IP settings to the unit’s soft IP interface. The soft IP interface is associated with the shelf controller that is currently primary.
Set the
Configuration of the soft IP interface address is described in the section “Defining the soft IP interface for fault tolerance” on page
Assigning an Ethernet IP address
An APX 8000 creates an IP interface for the Ethernet port of each shelf controller. The
To list the IP interfaces, use the Dir command, as follows:
admin> dir ip-interface
6 06/17/1999 03:06:00 { {
1906/21/1999 23:54:02 { {
1906/25/1999 17:45:30 { {
The IP interface profile indicated by {{
Examples of setting shelf-controller Ethernet IP address
Each shelf controller needs to be assigned an IP address. Following are examples that show how to configure the Ethernet IP addresses.
In the following example, the shelf controller in the left controller slot position (slot 41) is the primary controller. The primary controller is assigned the address 192.168.100.1/24:
admin> read
admin> set
admin> write
The following commands assign the address 192.168.100.2/24 to the secondary (right) shelf controller. The commands must be performed on the primary (left) controller.
admin> read
