Note
See
Cluster member: A cluster node that is not the master.
Cluster node: Any system that is part of a cluster, regardless of whether it is a
member or the master.
Cluster protocol networks/interfaces: The cluster protocol networks are
used for cluster synchronization and cluster management traffic. You create
these networks by connecting cluster protocol interfaces. You must create a
primary cluster protocol network, and Nokia recommends that you also create
a secondary cluster protocol network for redundancy.
You specify which interfaces are cluster protocol interfaces by selecting from
the configured Ethernet interfaces. (Only Ethernet interfaces can participate in
a cluster.)
Note
These interfaces should be internal, and Nokia also recommends that the
cluster protocol networks be dedicated networks—that is, you should not
use a network that carries production traffic to carry the cluster protocol
traffic. This is the configuration shown in the example cluster.
If you use VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG_AI, the cluster protocol interfaces can also
be used for VPN-1/FireWall-1 synchronization traffic. For more information
about how to configure VPN-1/FireWall-1 for clustering, see
VPN-1/FireWall-1 for Clustering."
The following list explains the roles of primary and secondary cluster
interfaces:

Primary cluster protocol network/interface: Each node must be
connected to the primary cluster protocol network. The interface a node
uses to connect to this network is its primary cluster protocol interface. In
the example cluster, the primary interface is eth-s3p1.
