B.2.6 Configuring virtual interfaces with tagged VLAN (Physical IP takeover, Asynchronous switching)

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/hosts file.

192.168.70.1    hosta1    # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.80.1    hosta2    # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.70.2    hostb1    # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.80.2    hostb2    # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.70.100  swhub1    # Switch/HUB1 IP
192.168.80.100  swhub2    # Switch/HUB2 IP

2) Reflecting system setting

Run the following command and reload the connection profile. After reloading the profile, verify eth0.1 and eth1.2 are enabled using the ip command.

/usr/bin/nmcli connection reload

3) Setting subnet masks

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetmask create -i 192.168.70.0 -m 255.255.255.0
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetmask create -i 192.168.80.0 -m 255.255.255.0

4) Creating virtual interfaces

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m e -i 192.168.70.1 -t eth0.1,eth1.1
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m e -i 192.168.80.1 -t eth1.2,eth0.2

Note

Ensure that the physical IP address specified using option '-i' is the same IP address configured in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.Y in RHLE8 or in the "nmcli connection modify" command in RHEL9. In RHEL8 or later, to correct mismatch of IP addresses, GLS automatically rewrites the configuration of the connection profile based on the IP address specified in the GLS command.

5) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100 -b off
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha1 -p 192.168.80.100 -b off

6) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

Define only one Standby patrol monitoring function.

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha2 -m p -t sha0

7) Reboot

Run the following command and reboot the system.

/sbin/shutdown -r now

[HOST-B]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/hosts file. Defined content is same as HOST-A.

2) Reflecting system setting

Run the following command and reload the connection profile. After reloading the profile, verify eth0.1 and eth1.2 are enabled using the ip command.

/usr/bin/nmcli connection reload

3) Setting subnet masks

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetmask create -i 192.168.70.0 -m 255.255.255.0
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetmask create -i 192.168.80.0 -m 255.255.255.0

4) Creating virtual interfaces

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m e -i 192.168.70.2 -t eth0.1,eth1.1
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m e -i 192.168.80.2 -t eth1.2,eth0.2

Note

Ensure that the physical IP address specified using option "-i" is the same IP address configured in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.Y in RHEL8 or in the "nmcli connection modify" command in RHEL9. In RHEL8 or later, to correct mismatch of IP addresses, GLS automatically rewrites the configuration of the connection profile based on the IP address specified in the GLS command.

5) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p 192.168.70.100 -b off
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha1 -p 192.168.80.100 -b off

6) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

Define only one Standby patrol monitoring function.

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha2 -m p -t sha0

7) Reboot

Run the following command and reboot the system.

/sbin/shutdown -r now
