Select Failover Or Broadband Oob - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3: Initial System Configuration
The DHCP server also supports pre-assigning IP addresses to be allocated only to specific MAC addresses and reserving IP
addresses to be used by connected hosts with fixed IP addresses. To reserve an IP addresses for a particular host:
• Click Add in the Reserved Addresses field
• Enter the Hostname, the Hardware Address (MAC) and the Statically Reserved IP address for the DHCP client and
click Apply
When DHCP has initially allocated hosts addresses it is recommended to copy these into the pre-assigned list so the same IP
address will be reallocated in the event of a reboot.

Select Failover or broadband OOB

The Console Servers provide a failover option so in the event of a problem using the main LAN connection for accessing the
Console Server; an alternate access path is automatically used.
• By default the failover is not enabled. To enable, select the Network Interface page on the System: IP menu
• Now select the Failover Interface to be used in the event of an outage on the main network. This can be:
o a second Ethernet connection on the B094-008-2E-M-F or B096-048/016
o the B094-008-2E-M-F or B096-048/016 internal modem
o an external modem device connected to the Console Server
• Click Apply. You have selected the failover method. However it is not active until you have specified the external sites to
be probed to trigger failover, and set up the failover ports themselves. This is covered in Chapter 5.
Note: The second Ethernet port on the B094-008-2E-M-F or B096-048/016 can be configured as either a Management LAN
gateway port or it can be configured as an OoB/Failover port - but not both. So ensure you did not configure this port as the
Management LAN on the System: IP menu
