3.6.3 How to Configure 1:1 Redundancy with Fail Over
•
Given an FX-4000/FX4010 ADC named 'PrimAdc' installed and operating in "in-line mode"
eth2/eth3) using eth0 as a management port.
•
Add a new FX-4000/FX4010 ADC appliance named 'Adc2nd' for 1:1 redundancy with fail over.
1. Cable the ADC appliances:
a) Connect PrimAdc/Adc2nd auxiliary (eth1) ports with cross-over cable
b) Remove PrimAdc eth3 port connection (Wan) and plug it into Adc2nd eth3 (Wan) port
c) Use cross-over cable and connect PrimAdc's eth3 to Adc2nd eth2 (LAN) port.
2. Browse to Adc2nd: Configuration->Host Settings:
a)
Set 'Host name' to Adc2nd
b)
In 'Host File Entries' add the following lines:
10.1.1.10 PrimAdc.com PrimAdc
10.1.1.11 Adc2nd.com Adc2nd
Click 'Save'
3. Browse to Adc2nd: Configuration->Management ->Network interfaces
Set Auxiliary Interface
'Ip v4Address' = 10.1.1.11 'Subnet mask' = 255.255.255.0
Click 'Save
4. Browse to PrimAdc: Configuration->Management ->Network interfaces
Set Auxiliary Interface
'Ip v4Address' = 10.1.1.10 'netmask' = 255.255.255.0
Click 'Save'
5. Browse to PrimAdc: Configuration->Host Settings
In 'Host File entries' add the following line
10.1.1.11 Adc2nd.com Adc2nd
10.1.1.10 PrimAdc.com
Click 'Save'
6. On PrimAdc browse to: FX Series Application Delivery Controller-> Configuration->Redundancy
a) Enable 'Redundancy'
b) Set 'Primary Appliance' to PrimAdc
c)
Set 'Secondary Appliance' to Adc2nd
d) Set "Automatically Synchronize Configuration Changes" to "Enabled"
Click 'Save' and refresh the browser screen.
Should see "Authentication Key" similar to:
auth 1
1 sha1 0509160a630240f400ec5e389c942422
The 'Save' action will synchronize PrimAdc's configuration with Adc2nd.
7. On Adc2nd browse to:
a) FX Series Application Delivery Controller-> Configuration->Redundancy
Verify that 'Authentication Key' matches that shown on the PrimAdc.
Note: If the Keys do not match, copy and paste the Authentication Key from PrimAdc
to Adc2nd then click 'Save' on Adc2nd.\
NOTE: It is necessary to reboot both appliances for Redundancy service to run
