Route management redundancy requires the following:
To set up route management redundancy, perform the following tasks:
You are required to reboot the CTP device when you finish this configuration procedure.
To configure the default Ethernet interface using the CTP Menu:
Do not add a route to the default Ethernet interface.
Table 1: Ethernet Interface Parameter Settings in the CTP Menu
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
Please input the hostname | Specifies the hostname for the CTP device. | Enter a name. |
Please input the ip/ipv6 | Specifies the IP address of the Ethernet interface. | Enter an IP address. |
Please input the netmask | For IPv4 interfaces, specifies the network mask. | Enter the network mask. |
Please input the gateway | On the default Ethernet interface, specifies the IP address of the default next-hop gateway, which is the Ethernet interface on the router. | Enter an IP address. |
Please input the mtu in bytes | Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the Ethernet interface. | For IPv4 networks, enter a number from 64 through 1500. For IPv6 networks, enter a number of at least 1280. |
Configure an Ethernet interface on a network that is different from the default Ethernet interface, and add static routes to the interface configuration.
You are required to reboot the CTP device when you finish this configuration procedure.
To configure static routes for Ethernet interfaces using the CTP Menu:
Table 2: Ethernet Parameter Settings in the CTP Menu
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
Please input the ip/ipv6 | Specifies the IP address of the Ethernet interface. | Enter an IP address. |
Please input the netmask | For IPv4 interfaces, specifies the network mask. | Enter the network mask. |
Please input the mtu in bytes | Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the Ethernet interface. | For IPv4 networks, enter a number from 64 through 1500. For IPv6 networks, enter a number of at least 1280. |
Add route to interface eth | Specifies whether or not to add static routes to the Ethernet configuration. | Specify yes. |
How many routes would you like to add to eth0? | Specifies the number of static routes to add to your Ethernet interface configuration. | Enter a number between 0 and 3. |
Please input the network | Specifies the IP address of the static route to the next-hop gateway. | Enter an IP address. |
Please input the number of bits in the netmask | For IPv4 networks, specifies the IP mask of the Ethernet interface. | Enter an IP mask. |
Please input the gateway | Specifies the IP address of the next-hop gateway (the router). | Enter an IP address. |
This topic describes how to enable the route redundancy management feature.
To enable route management redundancy using CTPView:
Table 3: Route Management Redundancy Settings in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
Route Management Redundancy | Enables or disables route management redundancy | Select one:
|
Check Period | This parameter is under the AutoSwitch Bundle Failover Settings configuration in CTPView. Specifies the frequency with which the CTP software runs a reachability check. For example, if the check period is set for 30, the CTP software verifies whether the next-hop is reachable once every 30 seconds. | Select the number of seconds. |
