Configuring Communication Paths

Planning Primary Communications

This section includes guidelines and procedures for configuring primary and
secondary communication paths.
Configuring a primary communication path involves:
Specifying a master for the cluster
Specifying a communication method between the master and the
C•CURE host:
• Onboard 1 Ethernet (default)
• Onboard 2 Ethernet
Specifying connection parameters for establishing and maintaining the
primary path

Primary Communication Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when configuring a primary path:
Every cluster must have a master.
Only one master is allowed per cluster (although an alternate master may
be designated for secondary communications).
If a cluster contains only one controller, that controller is the master.
Any controller in a cluster can be designated as the master.
