Configuring the dual-interface LAN option using the CLI

Configure the default HA interface address:

node1-hostname (config) # interface <interface name> ip address <ip address> /<mask>

where <ip address> is the IPv4 address of the default HA interface and <mask> is the mask length prefixed by a slash (for example, /24) or a netmask (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Prevent the default HA interface from becoming disabled:

node1-hostname (config) # no interface <interface name> shutdown

Configure the backup HA interface address:

node1-hostname (config) # interface <interface name> ip address <ip address> /<mask>

where <ip address> is the IPv4 address of the backup HA interface and <mask> is the mask length prefixed by a slash (for example, /24) or a netmask (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Prevent the backup HA interface from becoming disabled:

node1-hostname (config) # no interface <interface name> shutdown

Enable the interface as the backup HA interface:

node1-hostname (config) # ha interface backup <interface name>

Verify your changes:

node1-hostname (config) # show ha configuration

Save your changes:

node1-hostname (config) # write memory

Start the cluster engine:

node1-hostname (config) # ha engine restart

Wait for all services to be in the "running" state:

node1-hostname (config) # show ha status

Configure the default HA interface address:

node2-hostname (config) # interface <interface name> ip address <ip address> /<mask>

where <ip address> is the IPv4 address of the default HA interface and <mask> is the mask length prefixed by a slash (for example, /24) or a netmask (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Prevent the default HA interface from becoming disabled:

node2-hostname (config) # no interface <interface name> shutdown

Enable the interface as the default HA interface:

node2-hostname (config) # ha interface default <interface name>

Configure the backup HA interface address:

node2-hostname (config) # interface <interface name> ip address <ip address> /<mask>

where <ip address> is the IPv4 address of the backup HA interface and <mask> is the mask length prefixed by a slash (for example, /24) or a netmask (for example, 255.255.255.0).

Prevent the backup HA interface from becoming disabled:

node2-hostname (config) # no interface <interface name> shutdown

Enable the interface as the backup HA interface:

node2-hostname (config) # ha interface backup <interface name>

Add the node to the cluster:

node2-hostname (config) # ha node join <primary node IP addr>

When prompted, enter the password for the primary node's remote admin user:

Enter password for admin account on primary node: ********

Verify your changes:

node2-hostname (config) # show ha configuration

Save your changes:

node2-hostname (config) # write memory

Start the cluster engine:

node2-hostname (config) # ha engine restart

Wait for all services to be in the "running" state:

node2-hostname (config) # show ha status
