Clustering {Clustering}
NSE Clustering provides the ability to cluster multiple gateways on one network segment. For more
information about this feature, including description, limitations, and troubleshooting information, see
Multiple Unit Clustering on page 25.
To enable NSE Clustering:
1.
Click Configuration > Clustering and click Enable.
2.
Enter integers for the Total number of gateways and the Gateway number (must be from 2 to 256 with no
gaps). For example, if clustering is being configured on three gateways, one gateway must be 1, one
gateway must be 2 and one gateway must be 3.
Be aware of the following:
All gateways in a cluster must have the same configuration
WAN and INAT IP addresses must not clash among clustered gateways
All gateways must have the same number of licensed subscribers
No restrictions are placed on shared secrets, administrator credentials, RADIUS NAS identifier and
NAS port.
Configuring Destination HTTP Redirection {Destination HTTP Redirection}
Destination HTTP Redirect provides DNS-triggered redirection of HTTP requests to one or more portal page
URLs configured on the NSE. Portal pages could include account status, maps, local information, etc.
The NSE will intercept and respond to DNS queries containing configurable strings. Subscribers requesting a
website at that DNS will obtain a DNS response that contains a “magic” IP address (which is the same value
obtained when the subscriber queries the DNS string “logout.nomadix.com”).
