Port Redundancy Considerations
Consider the following points when implementing a port redundancy deployment:
•
A redundant group must include two port groups with different ports
•
Each port group can contain:
•
Ports and port attribute
•
Other port groups
•
Each port group can possess configurable attributes– you can choose whether to
configure settings for a port group
•
Packets cannot be routed into different port groups
•
Configure the
F
AILOVER
port as a separate port, which should not belong to any
port group (see
for details)
Failover
The failover solution involves two identical Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500
devices–
P
RIMARY
and
S
ECONDARY
. It is an operation that automatically sends
packets through a second Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 device if the first device
fails or is temporarily shut down for servicing. You can only configure Failover and
Asymmetric route settings from the Preconfiguration console.
Applying a failover solution requires the completion of the following tasks:
1.
Establish the failover link between the two devices.
2.
Specify a failover port for each device. The failover port should be the same port
number for both devices.
3.
Specify the
Management
device.
4.
Establish a Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 connection to other network
devices
