change this setting to
ENABLE
. When this is set to
ENABLE
, the cluster
monitors the firewall. If the firewall fails on a node, that node drops out of
the cluster and stops forwarding traffic.
Before you activate the cluster, click
S
AVE
to store all the cluster
configuration settings in the configuration database on the hard disk.
To make the cluster active, click
U
P
in the
C

S

field of the
Cluster Status table.
You can make the cluster active only if the node has:
!
No dynamic routing
!
No VRRP or router services
!
At least two configured interfaces participating in the cluster, including
one primary interface
You receive error messages if the node does not meet these requirements.
Adding a Node to a Cluster
It is very easy to add Nokia appliances to an existing cluster. There are two
methods you can use:
!
Joining (automatic configuration). This is the recommended method
because:
!
The only tasks you must do on the joining systems are:
!
Configure interfaces with IP addresses in each of the networks the
cluster will connect to
!
Supply an IP address (a real addresses or a cluster IP address) that
is already part of the cluster when joining the cluster
!
Manual configuration. If you use this method, you must supply more
information so that the system can join the cluster. Manually adding
nodes is very similar to the process of creating a cluster configuration on
the first node, and you must make sure to enter the appropriate settings
identically to how you entered them on the first node.
