ALTER Command
This increases the availability of the routes should both SUBNETs comprising a
failover pair become unavailable. It also allows NonStop TCP/IPv6 to distribute
outbound connections over the failover pairs when the source IP address is not
selected by the application.
•
Ethernet failover might not function when directly connected to a firewall that uses
Ethernet-address (MAC)-to-IP address filtering. This problem can be overcome by
adding a router between the LIFs and the firewall.
•
When configuring multiple, shared IP failover pairs, the reserved IP address cannot
be shared between pairs.
ALTER Command
The ALTER command changes attribute values associated with the specified NonStop
TCP/IPv6 object. This is a sensitive command.
ALTER MON Command for TCP6MAN
The ALTER MON command is used to change the attribute values of the NonStop
TCP/IPv6 subsystem. When you alter attributes of a TCP6MON process you must do
so on all configured TCP6MONs. Hence, only the wild card is supported for altering the
TCP6MON object.
