Connecting HA Servers to the Switch
Overview
c. Direct connect to Customer LAN, without private segment:
— Least preferred option
— Complete dependency on performance and reliability of
customer's LAN
— Allows remote location of endpoints when customer LAN
connectivity is convenient
— Customer LAN administrator must be present during setup
• If option b or c is chosen, the following information is needed from
the customer:
a. Customer network physical connectivity questions:
— Location of 10BaseT network access point (hub, router,
and so on)
— Distance between C-LAN and network access point (328
ft, 100 m maximum)
— Wiring to access point, existing or new, Category 5
minimum required
b. Customer network administration questions:
— IP address of C-LANs, adjuncts, and gateways
— Node names of C-LANs, adjuncts, and gateways
— Subnet masks for all LAN segments containing C-LANs or
adjuncts
— Gateway IP address for all LAN segments containing C-
LANs, adjuncts, or routers
— Are all endpoints (C-LANs and adjuncts) on the same
local LAN segment?
Network administration information needs to be mapped into
specific administration fields.
• Sanity check of information obtained from customer:
a. If C-LAN and adjuncts (CMS or Intuity) are on the same LAN
segment:
— Gateway IP address (if present) and subnet mask
information is valid
— All IP addresses contain the same subnet address
b. If C-LAN and adjuncts are on different LAN segments, gateway
IP addresses are different
Without the information described above, the Lucent Technologies
technician will be unable to complete the installation.
