Hi,

I have one rp3440/4440 having two lan cards.I want to configure only lan fail over.Other servers I had is allready configured for clusters.I heard about auto port agrigation.Please help me out to get the configuration steps for that.Is it possible by configuring MC service guard with only one node ..?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

1) You can create a one-node cluster
2) Autoport Aggregation is also an option. Here you find the manual

Hi,

for local lan card failover, the standby lan should
1. no ip bind on it
2. have link connection to the primary lan

and in the cluster configure ascii file.

NODE_NAME NODE1
NETWORK_INTERFACE lan0
HEARTBEAT_IP 192.168.1.1
NETWORK_INTERFACE lan1

GOOD LUCK!!

Note that AutoPort Aggregation (APA) is a purchased product, not part of the basic OS.

Thanks For all U r info...
One more doubt, in rp3440 one card is onboard and other one is external lan card.In APA,is it mandatory that it should be of same type..??How can check the lan cards are same type..?

[Matti_Kurkela]

If I recall correctly, the "same type" in APA context means the generic network type, i.e. Ethernet, TokenRing, X.25 or something like that.

-It's not mandatory at all. You can have APA betwen onboard Card and external lan.

How can check the lan cards are same type..?

-As Suggested above , same type means ethernet , token ring etc.
