Redundancy Configuration Quick Start
If you are operating in multiple contexts, observe the CLI prompt to verify
that you are operating in the desired context. If necessary, change to the
correct context.
host1/Admin# changeto C1
host1/C1#
The rest of the examples in this table use the Admin context, unless
otherwise specified. For details on creating contexts, see the Cisco 4700
Series Application Control Engine Appliance Virtualization Configuration
Guide.
Enter configuration mode.
host1/Admin# config
host1/Admin(config)#
Configure a dedicated FT VLAN for communication between the members
of the FT group. This FT VLAN is global and is shared by all contexts.
Specify the IP address and netmask of the FT VLAN and the IP address and
netmask of the remote peer.
host1/Admin(config)# ft interface vlan 100
host1/Admin(config-ft-intf)# ip address 192.168.12.1
255.255.255.0
host1/Admin(config-ft-intf)# peer ip address 192.168.12.15
255.255.255.0
host1/Admin(config-ft-intf)# no shutdown
host1/Admin(config-ft-intf)# exit
Configure an alias IP address as the gateway for the redundant appliances.
host1/Admin(config)# interface vlan 100
host1/Admin(config-if)# alias 192.168.12.15 255.255.255.0
Configure the local redundancy peer appliance, associate the FT VLAN
with the peer, and configure the heartbeat interval and count.
host1/Admin(config)# ft peer 1
host1/Admin(config-ft-peer)# ft-interface vlan 100
host1/Admin(config-ft-peer)# heartbeat count 20
host1/Admin(config-ft-peer)# heartbeat interval 200
host1/Admin(config-ft-peer)# exit
