In Active/Active clustering, a node cannot

defaults and not aware of its A/A Clustering license, or

 

 

 

 

Default Gateway and DNS server fail.

 

 

when the license is activated, but the unit is not yet

Before connecting the node to the A/A Cluster, register

configured as a redundant port for X1, and then the X1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

interface is physically disconnected. Workaround:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disable High Availability and then traffic is passed on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the redundant port.

default route to the appliance, and the appliance adds

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the default route to its routing table. However, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

gateway IP address for the default route is set to the IP
