188 • SMP Gateway User Manual
A warning message appears, telling you that SMP Manager will use the default
redundancy settings and asking you if you want to go on. If you reply in the affirmative,
the Group Properties dialog box appears and you can change the settings to your liking.
When you close the dialog box, both SMP Gateways will have the same settings.
Restart both SMP Gateways to activate the parameters. For each gateway:
Select the SMP Gateway to restart.
From the Gateway menu, click Restart.
From the Restart Gateway dialog box, click Shutdown and Restart.
Warning: Do NOT reset the SMP Gateways by pressing the reset button on
the gateway itself, or you will lose your parameter settings.
Peer IP: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn => Not in redundancy.
The Peer IP is in the SMP Gateway list, but is not part of the redundancy group. This can
happen if one of the 2 SMP Gateways in the group lose its redundancy configuration.
To fix the problem, ungroup the SMP Gateway that is still in the redundancy group (see
“Ungrouping SMP Gateways”, page 189) and regroup both gateways again.
Virtual gateway (IP: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).
You have added, to the SMP Gateway list, an SMP Gateway with the virtual IP address you
assigned as the public IP address of the redundancy group. The address of the active gateway
is indicated in parentheses.
The redundancy configuration of all SMP Gateways in the list is retrieved cyclically. This
mechanism allows you to see the current redundancy state of all SMP Gateways, on SMP
Manager’s main screen. Since the refresh cycle is relatively slow, the redundancy configuration
of a given SMP Gateway is automatically retrieved when the SMP Gateway is added to the list,
when it is restarted, and when one or more files are sent to it.
You can refresh the redundancy state of all SMP Gateways as follows:
From the View menu, click Refresh.
19.3 Managing Redundancy
19.3.1 Forcing an Active SMP Gateway to Fall On Standby
To force an active SMP Gateway to fall on standby, proceed as follows:
Using SMP Manager, select the active SMP Gateway in the list.
From the Redundancy menu, click Force Standby.
The selected SMP Gateway will enter standby mode, while the other SMP Gateway in the group
will enter active mode.
