View the Logical Management IP Address

Logical Management IP addresses (Elastic IP/Public IP and the secondary IP) are associated to the instance during the instance creation using the HA template. Yoiu can view the Logical Management IP address both from the dashboard and  the meta variable table.

View from the Dashboard

To view the logical management IP addresses, perform the following steps:

  1. Log on to AWS.

  2. Click Services drop-down list.
    The Services list displays.

  3. Select EC2 from the Compute services.

    Select EC2 from the Services


  4. Select the Running Instances link from the Resources option.

    Select Running Instances from Resources Option

  5. Select the currently active instance.

  6. Right-click on the instance, select the Networking option.

  7. Click Manage IP Addresses option from the available list.
    (In the below example, the logical managment IP (52.20.101.52) is attached to the second private IP)

  2. Log on to CLI of the currently active instance.

  3. To view the metavariable table, execute the following command:

Activate the Logical Management IP Address

Once the active and standby instances are running and come up with their assigned roles, the Logical Management IP must be activated.

  1. Log on to CLI of the currently active instance.

  2. To activate the Logical Management IP Address, execute the following commands:

    Ensure to execute the command in the following order. It is observed that, if the Logical Management IP is configured and enabled together, the Logical Management IP does not work.

    % set system logicalMgmtIpInterface mgt mgmtIpInterfaceGroupName mgmtGroup ipVar LOGICAL_MGMT_IP.IP
[ok]
% commit

% set system logicalMgmtIpInterface mgt state enabled
[ok]
% commit
Commit complete

Verify the Logical Management IP Address

To verify if the the Logical Management IP address is activated, execute the following command:

> show table system logicalMgmtIpInterfaceStatus
                          LOCAL
NAME  OPER STATUS         IP TYPE  FIXED IP
-------------------------------------------------
mgt   active              learned  172.31.10.64

[ok]
Note

If the Logical Management IP address is activated, the ping/ssh can be performed by using the Logical Management IP address.

Note

If the Logical Management IP address is not activated, the status is set to disabled instead of active.

Restart the SBC application if the Logical Management IP address is not activated.
