Chapter 12. Failover
DNS name or network address
In the DNS name or network address field, enter the DNS name or IP address of the dedicated network.
Network address
Shows the IP address of the DNS name or network address you entered in the previous field.
Netmask/bits
Netmask/bits is the netmask that will be used to specify the size of the dedicated network. You must use a netmask
of at most 30 (255.255.255.252). See chapter 3, Configuring 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module, for
instructions on writing the netmask.
Range
The Range shows all IP addresses of the dedicated network. The range is calculated from the configuration under
DNS name or network address and Netmask/Bits. Check that the correct information was entered in the DNS
name or network address and Netmask/Bits fields.
Failover type
The Telecommuting Module can work Standalone or as a Failover team member. In Standalone mode, it works as
a standard Telecommuting Module. As a Failover team member, it still performs the usual functionality, but in
addition, it communicates with the other team member to transfer configuration when changed. The team members
constantly check whether the other unit is alive.
Change failover type for the Telecommuting Module from standalone to team member or from failover team
member to standalone. When you change type, the Telecommuting Module will reboot.
Create new team
Press Create new team to create a new failover team.
If the Telecommuting Module was standalone, it will reboot and then listen for its team partner on the dedicated
interface, to transfer its configuration.
Deactivate failover
Disconnect the other Telecommuting Module in the team (or turn off the power) and press Deactivate failover to
make the Telecommuting Module standalone again.
Save
Saves all Failover Settings configuration to the preliminary configuration.
Cancel
Clears and resets all fields in new rows and resets changes in old rows.
