In an HA configuration, the two

Spacevars
0model5
 platforms are connected to each other with two 1 Gb/s HA links. The connection provides box-level redundancy.

Each of the HA peer

Spacevars
0model5
 platforms has four management ports with their own addresses, and these platforms can each be controlled through these addresses whether the platform is currently in an Active or Standby state. Additionally, the user can assign a Logical Management address to the HA pair (refer to Configuring Logical Management Interfaces). The user can control the Active HA peer through this Logical Management address and When switchover occurs, the logical management address follows the currently active server.

For the media ports, the MAC and IP addresses float between the HA pair (are replicated from Active to Standby on HA peer switchover).

Connect HA cables between the HA pair as shown:

Active HA0<--------->Standby HA0

Active HA1<--------->Standby HA1

The

Spacevars
0model5
fails to pair with a machine that is not operating with an identical configuration (for example, same Media Port Speed setting for both SBC 5400 HA peers). Furthermore, an
Spacevars
0model5
can only pair with another
Spacevars
0model5
platform of the same type (for example, an
Spacevars
0model5
can only pair with another
Spacevars
0model5
).
