PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

3.1.2.2 RIP mode

When using RIP mode, determine the information required for the configuration listed in the table 3.3.

[Table 3.3 Configuration information of RIP mode]

Description of each component is as follows:

<Virtual interface information>

Setup the followings for the number of virtual interfaces.

Virtual interface name (R-1)

Specify a name of the virtual interface assigned to a physical interface for redundancy. Specify shaX (X represents a number) of this component using "hanetconfig create" command with -n option.

Virtual IP address or host name (R-2)

Specify an IPv4 address or host name to be assigned for the virtual interface. The network portion of this IP address must be different from an IP address allocated for the physical interface. Specify this entry using "hanetconfig create" command with -i option.

Subnet mask (R-3)

Specify the value of sub network mask applied to the virtual IP address. Configuration can be omitted if not allocating subnet. Describe this entry in /etc/inet/netmasks file. If subnet mask is applied, use the same mask value for the whole virtual IP and physical IP.

<Physical interface information>

Setup the followings for the number of physical interfaces for redundancy.

Physical interface name (R-4,7)

Specify the name of physical interface. This can be setup using "hanetconfig create" command with -t option. (e.g. hme1,qfe2, etc )

Physical IP address or host name (R-5, 8)

If using IPv4 address, specify an IP address or host name to be allocated for the physical interface. The network portion of this IP address must be different from IP address of other physical and virtual interfaces. In order to specify the physical IP address, create "/etc/hostname.<physical interface name>" file and then specify IP address (or host name) in the file.
Make sure this value is different from the other IP.

Subnet mask (R-6, 9)

Specify the value of sub network mask applied to the virtual IP address. This configuration can be omitted if not allocating a subnet. Write this entry in /etc/inet/netmasks file. When applying subnet mask, apply the same mask value to a whole virtual and physical IP.

<Monitored remote system information>

Configure the followings for the number of virtual interfaces. This process can be omitted.

Primary Monitored remote system IP address or host name (R-10)

Specify the IP address (or host name) of the router to be monitored while using the primary physical interface. This entry is specified using "hanetpoll create" command with -p option.

Secondary Monitored remote system IP address or host name (R-11)

Specify an IP address (or host name) of the router to be monitored while using the secondary physical interface. This entry is specified using "hanetpoll create" command with -p option. This process can be omitted. If this process is omitted, the same value as the primary Monitored remote system IP address (or host name) will be applied.
