6. REDUNDANCY WITH NX3030 CPU
6.4.2. Half-Clusters Configuration
The Wizard is always used to generate the first version of a redundant project. This guarantees the initial version is
generated quick and correctly.
However, it’s possible that some modifications are necessary in a half-cluster, such as the insertion of new NX5001 and
NX5000 modules that can be executed changing the half-cluster configuration screen. The following sections present how to
insert and configure the modules NX5000, NX5001 and NX4010.
Some rules and precautions must be followed for a redundant project, as described in the following sections.
6.4.2.1. Fixed Configuration in the 0 to 5 Rack Positions
In the 0 to 5 positions of the selected rack, the following modules must be always installed:
Power supply NX8000 (positions 0)
NX3030 CPU (positions 2)
NX4010 module (positions 4)
These modules must not be removed from the original project generated by the Wizard.
Any different configuration in these positions results in an error displayed by MasterTool at the project compilation.
6.4.3. Ethernet Ports Configuration in the CPU NX3030 (NET 1 and NET 2)
6.4.3.1. IP Address Configuration
The figure below presents the CPU NX3030 NET 1 port configuration (the screen for NET 2 port configuration has a
subgroup of these parameters). In order to open this screen, a double click must be executed on NET 1 or NET 2, below the
CPU NX3030 in the device tree.
Figure 183: Ethernet NET 1 Port Parameters
Next the basic parameters of the NET 1 and NET 2 interfaces must be edited. The address has to be set according to the
Active IP Change method, as described in Principles of Operation - IP Change Methods - Active IP.
ATTENTION
The NET 1 and NET 2 interfaces IP addresses, as the Gateway Address, must belong to the
same subnet.
ATTENTION
The NET 2 configuration screen has the same structure as the NET 1 configuration screen,
but it doesn’t have the checkbox Redundancy of Communication, neither the NIC Teaming
configuration parameters.
