Become a failover team member
Here, you make the Telecommuting Module the second member of a failover team. All current configuration will be
removed. The Telecommuting Module will receive its new configuration from the first member of the team.
Dedicated network interface [eth0]:
Select the network interface which will be directly connected to the other Telecommuting Module in the team. This
interface will be used to synchronize the configurations and can’t be used for anything else. The interfaces use their
physical names: if you want to use Network Interface 1, enter "eth0", and if you want to use Network Interface 2,
enter "eth1".
IP network address for eth0 [10.120.121.64]:
Enter the network address for this interface. The network address must be the same as the one entered for the first
member of the failover team. If you used the default values for that Telecommuting Module you can do the same
here.
IP netmask for eth0 [255.255.255.252]:
Enter the netmask for the network. The netmask must be big enough to comprise IP addresses for two computers, a
network address and a broadcast address, i.e. at least four addresses. The default netmask (255.255.255.252) should
suffice. There is no use in assigning a larger network, since the Telecommuting Modules should be connected via a
crossover TP cable.
Current configuration:
Dedicated interface: eth0
Network address: 10.120.121.64
Network mask: 255.255.255.252
Is this configuration correct (yes/no/abort)?
When all settings are made they are shown.
