● Set the Shared Virtual Address field to the virtual IP address shared by the two
TN2602AP circuit packs.
● Set the Virtual MAC Table field to a number from 1 to 4. Normally, you can enter 1.
However, you might choose a different table number if all of the following conditions exist:
- A port network under the control of a different Communication Manager main server
has duplicated TN2602AP circuit packs.
- That port network controlled by a different main server has the same number as the
port network in which you are administering the TN2602AP circuit packs.
- The port network or its main server connects to the same Ethernet switch as the port
network in which you are administering the TN2602AP circuit packs.
Selecting a different Virtual MAC Table from that chosen for a port network that has the
previously-listed conditions helps prevent the possibility that two TN2602AP circuit packs
within the customer’s network will have the same virtual MAC address.
● The Virtual MAC Address field is populated automatically with a MAC address from the
Virtual MAC Table you select.
4. Complete the following fields for the standby TN2602AP circuit pack:
● In the Slot field, type the slot number of TN2602AP circuit pack.
● In the Node name field, type the name of the TN2602AP circuit pack.
● Set the Enable Ethernet Port field to y.
● Set VLAN to n.
● Set Ethernet Options to match the customers network for both circuit packs. The
