Due to limitations with the inter-process and inter-workstation communication
mechanisms, a specific network topology and the use of hostnames may be required (see
“Use of hostnames for the 5620 SAM Client” (p. 8-13)
). Contact an Alcatel-Lucent
representative to obtain further details.
5620 SAM Server multiple IP addresses deployment scenarios
5620 SAM Server multiple IP addresses deployment scenarios
The 5620 SAM Server supports the configuration of different IP addresses for the
following purposes:
•
One or multiple network interfaces can be used to manage the network. (NIC 2 on
) This network interface contains the IP address that the
managed devices will use to communicate with the 5620 SAM Server and 5620 SAM
Auxiliary. If managing a network element with both an in-band and out-of-band
connection, the same network interface on the 5620 SAM Server must be used for
both communication types.
•
One network interface can be used to service the requirements of the 5620 SAM
clients (GUIs and OSS) (NIC 3 on
Figure 8-2, “Distributed 5620 SAM
Server/Database deployment with multiple network interfaces” (p. 8-4)
). This
network interface contains the IP address that all clients (GUIs and OSS) will use to
communicate with the 5620 SAM Server. All clients (GUIs and OSS) must be
configured to use the same IP address to communicate to the 5620 SAM Server. This
IP address can be different from the one used by the managed devices to communicate
with the 5620 SAM Server.
•
One network interface can be used to communicate with the 5620 SAM Database,
5620 SAM Auxiliary Database, and 5620 SAM Auxiliary Collectors as well as any
redundant 5620 SAM components should they be present (NIC 1 on
“Distributed 5620 SAM Server/Database deployment with multiple network
interfaces” (p. 8-4)
). This network interface contains the IP address that the 5620
SAM Database, 5620 SAM Auxiliary Database, and redundant 5620 SAM
components will use to communicate with the 5620 SAM Server. This IP address can
be different from the addresses used by the 5620 SAM clients and the managed
devices to communicate with the 5620 SAM Server.
•
In a redundant 5620 SAM installation, the 5620 SAM Servers and 5620 SAM
Auxiliary Collectors must have IP connectivity to the 5620 SAM Server peer. If
different interfaces are used for communication to the clients and/or auxiliary servers,
the IP connectivity required to the 5620 SAM Server peer could be through the client
interface (NIC 3 on
Figure 8-2, “Distributed 5620 SAM Server/Database deployment
with multiple network interfaces” (p. 8-4)
) or the database/server interface (NIC 1 on
