Configuring the Single-Interface LAN Option Using the CLI

Use the commands in this section to configure the basic settings for a single-interface Central Management System cluster in a LAN deployment that uses a non-default interface.

Configuring the Primary Node

Perform the procedures in this section in order to configure the primary node.

Configure the default HA interface:

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

Enable the interface as the default HA interface:

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

Verify and save your changes:

Start the cluster engine:

Configuring the Secondary Node

Perform the procedures in this section in order to configure the secondary node.

Configure the default HA interface:

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>

Add the node to the cluster:

Verify and save your changes:

Start the cluster engine:

Note

You can perform a manual failover to test the cluster. For details, see Failing Over Manually Using the CLI .Failing over manually using the CLI

Examples

The following example configures the primary node in the single-interface LAN deployment using a non-default interface.

node1 (config) # interface ether3 ip address 10.0.0.1 /30
node1 (config) # no interface ether3 shutdown
node1 (config) # ha interface default ether3
node1 (config) # show ha configuration
...
node1 (config) # write memory
node1 (config) # ha engine restart
...
node1 (config) # show ha status
...

The following example configures the secondary node in the single-interface LAN deployment using a non-default interface.

node2 (config) # interface ether3 ip address 10.0.0.2 /30
node2 (config) # no interface ether3 shutdown
node2 (config) # ha interface default ether3
node2 (config) # ha node join 172.16.127.144
Enter password for admin account on primary node: ********
Node joining has started
Please check the status with CLI 'show ha configuration'.
node2 (config) # show ha configuration
...
node2 (config) # write memory
node2 (config) # ha engine restart
...
node2 (config) # show ha status
...
