Release Bulletin NP V10.4.1R02 - Comtech EF Data

Using this Document
The following parameters have been added to the configuration of an Ethernet
port for the redundant MAC and IP addresses:
- Redundancy MAC address active (Configuration file: [iflan] RedunMacAddrActive;
SNMP: iflanRedunMacAddressActive):
YES: (default value) Allows for configuration of a redundant MAC address
on this Ethernet port. This MAC address will be used as the source address
instead of the default BIA or configured physical MAC address.
Set this parameter to YES in a redundant system. This allows the two redundant
units to have the same MAC address and be on the same LAN. The unit
that is currently active is the one that uses the redundant MAC address.
NO: (default value) A redundant MAC address is not available for this Ethernet
port.
- Redundancy MAC address (Configuration file: [iflan] RedunMacAddr;
SNMP: iflanRedunMacAddress):
Determines the redundant MAC address that the Ethernet port will use as
source address when the unit is operating in a redundant system.
1:1 Redundancy must be fully configured on the SDM-9620 (using SE/
REDUNDANCY) for this parameter to take effect, including the unit Role,
fault criteria, Backup name and remote unit identification.
� Range of hexadecimal values: 00005E000000 to 00005E0000FF
This range of MAC addresses is the Ethernet address block that the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has specified for unicast
address assignments or other special purposes.
� Default value: 00005E000000
Caution: Be careful when configuring this parameter. With the
exception of the redundant unit, the Redundancy MAC address
must be different from the MAC address of other units on the same
LAN if the other units can operate at the same time as the one you
are configuring.
- Redundancy IP address 1 (Configuration file: [iflan] RedunIpAddress1;
SNMP: iflanRedunIpAddress1):
Specifies the first redundant IP address that is activated by the Redundancy
feature when the unit is operative.
� IP address value: class A, class B or class C IP address in x.x.x.x
format
� Default value: 0.0.0.0
- Redundancy subnet mask 1 (number of bits) (Configuration file: [iflan]
SNRedunMask1; SNMP: iflanRedunSNMask1):
