Basic BNP Redundancy Configuration
The configuration steps in this section establish
an active and a standby BNP, and ensure that
the two systems can listen to each other via
their respective management ports.
Use steps in this section to first configure the
standby BNP, then configure the active BNP, as
described in the following topics:
"Step 1 (of 2)—Configure the Standby BNP
•
Chassis," next.
"Step 2 (of 2)—Configure the Active BNP
•
Chassis" on page 97.
Step 1 (of 2)—Configure the Standby BNP Chassis
Complete steps 1 through 8 of this standby chassis configuration, before attempting to configure the
active chassis for the redundant pairing.
1. Log in to the Element Manager of the standby chassis as described in "Log in and Access the BNP
Element Manager" on page 25.
2. If you have not already done so, go to the Configuration -> Ethernet Control Port tab screen,
and change the IP Configuration, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields for Ethernet Port 1
and Ethernet Port 2 of this standby chassis to the appropriate parameters for your network.
See "Ethernet Control Port Configuration" on page 43 for more information.
Modification to any of these parameters requires a system reboot. The system will prompt for the
reboot after you click Apply Configuration.
You will need to re-launch the BNP Element Manager and log in again to this standby following this
reboot.
3. From the BNP Element Manager of the standby chassis, go to the Configuration -> Global tab
screen and enter data into the following fields:
