32.1.2.2 Step 2: Configure the Second Device

Once you have configured the first device for HA, you can configure the second device for
HA. As the configuration of the second device is similar to the first device, the procedure

the Web configuration pages, refer to the section on configuring the first device (''Step 1:
Configure the First Device'' on page 517).


To configure the second device for HA:
1. Connect to the device in the same way as you did with the first device.
2. Configure the same OAMP, Media, and Control interfaces as you configured for the
first device.
3. Configure a Maintenance interface for this device. The IP address must be different to
that configured for the Maintenance interface of the first device. However, the
Maintenance interfaces of the devices must be in the same subnet.
4. Configure the same Native VLAN IDs of the Ethernet Port Groups and VLAN IDs of
the network interfaces as you configured for the first device.
5. Configure the same Ethernet port Tx / Rx mode of the Ethernet Port Group used by
the Maintenance interface as you configured for the first device.
6. Configure the HA parameters in the HA Settings page (Configuration tab > System
menu > HA Settings):
a. In the 'HA Remote Address' field, enter the Maintenance IP address of the first
device.
b. Enable the Revertive mode by setting the 'HA Revertive' field to Enable and then
setting the priority level of this second device in the 'HA Priority' field. Make sure
that the priority level of this second device is lower than the priority level that you
set for the active device (configured in Step 1: Configure the First Device on page
517).
7. Burn the configuration to flash without a reset.
8. Power down the device.
9. Continue to ''Step 3: Initialize HA on the Devices'' on page
