Routing

Method for VIP

Addresses

After setting up a service, you must configure the SA8250 to route the

VIP address to the Internet. There are two possibilities:

• In single SA8250 installations, “Standalone” mode is preferred

as it allows the VIP to be ARP-accessible from the router.

• If there are multiple address spaces (such as a SA8250 on the

10.x.x.x network and a VIP on the 209.x.x.x), then a routing

protocol might be the best method to advertise the VIP. When

configuring routing on the SA8250, always match the router's

configuration. The SA8250 can be programmed to use RIP v1,

RIP v2, or OSPF.

For example (standalone mode):

HP SA8250#config route

HP SA8250/config/route#info
