Issue Concerning HAFM Remote Client Access to the HAFM Server with
Dual LAN Configuration
When using a single public LAN connection at the HAFM server for all Ethernet
communications to:
the single LAN connection operates correctly for all these functions.
When using two LAN connections (public and private) at the HAFM server,
Microsoft Windows and the HAFM application determine the following:
The issue arises because either LAN connection on the HAFM server can be the
public LAN or the private LAN. Though the directors and edge switches can be
managed via either LAN, the public LAN is the only one that can support remote
client access. Thus, if one attempts to access the HAFM server via a remote client
session and is unknowingly using what has been designated as the private LAN,
the remote session will not be allowed. The IP address that the HAFM server has
determined to be the public LAN which supports remote client access, displays in
the title bar of the main window of the HAFM application which displays after
logging into the HAFM application.
The HAFM application designates the public LAN as the first LAN detected
whose IP address is not the reserved private subnet 10.x.x.x. Thus, if neither
IP address is 10.x.x.x, the first LAN detected by HAFM is designated as the
public LAN. This order of detection is influenced by Microsoft Windows and not
guaranteed.
For a dual LAN configuration, both LANs must be connected when the HAFM
server is booted up. If only one is connected, the HAFM server interprets this as a
single LAN configuration, and the connected LAN will be designated as the LAN
for remote client sessions.
