Network Setup
A typical Network Setup for the Main/Standby Solution in operation looks as explained in the following diagram:
In the above network scheme, the following applies:
• Equipment Type X: SNMP managed devices
• Equipment Type Y: non SNMP managed devices; note that the FOXMAN-UN does always register in the node when the agent is started.
• The Main Server must be connected to the Standby Server through the DCN network.
• Both the Main Server and the Standby Server need network connectivity to the network elements they are monitoring.
• The Equipment Type X and Y Agents of the Main Server must be configured to use IP Addresses of Network C.
• The Equipment Type X and Y Agents of the Standby Server must be configured to use IP Addresses of Network D.
• Equipment of Type X must be configured to send notifications (e.g. SNMP traps) to both Equipment Type X Agents on the Main and the Standby Server addressing the Agent IP Address of Network C in case of the Main Server and the Agent IP Address of Network D in case of the Standby Server.
• Equipment of Type Y must be configured to send notifications (e.g. SNMP traps) to both Equipment Type Y Agents on the Main and the Standby Server addressing the Agent IP Address of Network C in case of the Main Server and the Agent IP Address of Network D in case of the Standby Server.
