example, there are two VLANs, each with their own interface. The same two services are configured
on each Alteon.
Figure 78: Active-Standby Configuration
Configuring Active-Standby Redundancy
Perform the following steps on both the active and the standby Alteon:
1. Disable the Spanning Tree protocol. For more information, see
protocol, page 523.
Using the Spanning Tree protocol or VLANs prevents Layer 2 loops. Radware recommends that
you use VLANs.
Note: The configuration does not require dedicated interswitch links (ISL), or hotstandby
settings on ports.
2. Enable IP forwarding. For more information, see
3. Configure two interfaces, one for each VLAN. For more information, see
physical interface settings, page
4. Configure virtual routers—one for each interface, and one for each service. For more
information, see To configure Layer 3 virtual router settings for VLANs, page
5. Define each service on a virtual server, and associate each service with a virtual router. For more
information, see To configure Layer 3 virtual router settings for services, page
6. Add all virtual routers to a VRRP group. For more information, see
for virtual routers, page
Grouping virtual routers enables you to easily give them a common status (active or standby). A
virtual router can belong to one VRRP group only.
