Procedure 3-18
Configuring 2 Wire Redundancy
Required Action Steps
Configure all 4 units the
same unless indicated
otherwise
login Log in as a NOC user.
Confirm that alignment mode
is OFF
Redundancy will not function if the alignment mode for the BNC
connector is enabled. This must be disabled.
Sequence:
set alignment off press Enter
The system responds:
System alignment is set to off.
Network management For 2-wire mode we need to configure all units for out-of-band
management via port2.
Sequence:
set network management interface port2 press Enter
The system responds:
Network management interface is set to : port2
Redundancy mode This command sets the redundancy mode for either a primary or
secondary unit, with either 1-wire or 2-wire hardware configuration.
Since we are configuring a 2-wire system, use the following:
FOR A PRIMARY UNIT-
Sequence:
set redundancy mode primary_hsb_2wire
Note: hsb = hot stand-by
The system responds:
System redundancy mode is set to : primary_hsb_2wire
FOR A SECONDARY UNIT-
Sequence:
set redundancy mode secondary_hsb_2wire
The system responds:
System redundancy mode is set to : secondary_hsb_2wire
Redundancy override This command determines how the system will respond when a link
failure occurs. In this example we will select the “auto” mode.
Sequence:
set redundancy override auto press Enter
The system responds:
redundancy override mode is set to : auto
