Configuring HA active-active FWLB

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL

Configuring the partner port

Use the partner-ports command to configure the data link between the ServerIron and its

active-active partner. You must use the server partner-ports command to specify all data links with

the partner. To specify the partner port, enter the following command.

NOTE

Do not use the partner-ports command for the synchronization link.

SI-Ext-A(config)# server partner-ports ethernet 3/1

Syntax: [no] server partner-ports <portnum>

Configuring the additional data link (the always-active link)

The default port-based VLAN, VLAN 1, contains all the ServerIron ADX ports by default. In

configurations such as the one shown in

Figure 10 on page 40, the ports of the additional data link

between the ServerIron ADXs in each pair also are in this VLAN. For this type of configuration, you

must perform the following configuration steps for the default VLAN:

• Disable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

• Enable the always-active option

To disable STP and enable the always-active feature, enter the following commands.

ServerIronADX(config)# vlan 1

ServerIronADX(config-vlan-1)# no spanning-tree

ServerIronADX(config-vlan-1)# always-active

ServerIronADX(config-vlan-1)# exit

Syntax: [no] vlan <num>

Syntax: [no] spanning-tree

Syntax: [no] always-active

NOTE

To use the always-active feature, you also must enable the L2-fwall feature at the firewall group

configuration level.
