320818-A
In a two-armed configuration, you are specifying the port you want to use for
Nortel SNAS 4050 management traffic.
4 Specify the RIP for this device. This IP address will be assigned to
Interface 1.
The RIP must be unique on the network and must be within the same subnet
as the MIP.
5 Specify the network mask for the RIP on Interface 1.
6 If the core router attaches VLAN tag IDs to incoming packets, specify the
VLAN tag ID used.
If you do not specify a VLAN tag id (in other words, you accept the default
value of zero), the traffic will not be VLAN tagged. When configuring the
network access devices in Layer 2 configurations, ensure that you add the
uplink ports to the Nortel SNAS 4050 management VLAN, for traffic
between the Nortel SNAS 4050 and the network access device.
Note: You can later convert a one-armed configuration into a two-armed
one by adding a new interface to the cluster and assigning an unused port
to that interface. The new interface will be used exclusively for client
portal traffic. For information about adding a new interface, see
“Configuring host interfaces using the CLI” on page 469 or
“Configuring host interfaces using the SREM” on page 508. For
information about assigning ports to an interface, see “Configuring host
ports using the CLI” on page 472 or “Configuring host ports using the
SREM” on page 520.
