Each appliance must be configured with an Eth0 IP address. Servers in a redundant configuration must also be configured with a Shared IP address. The Eth1 port is disabled by default but can also be enabled and assigned an IP address. Review the following summaries to determine the configuration required by your deployment.
· In a standalone configuration, the Eth0 IP address provides communication between the ICPAM appliance and the controller or controllers. The Eth0 IP address is also used to log on to the ICPAM Server Administration utility.
· In a redundant HA configuration, the Eth0 ports provides communication between the active and standby appliances. The Eth0 IP address for the active and standby appliance must be different.
· The Shared IP address is used in a redundant HA configuration and is transferred from the active to the standby server if a failover occurs. This allows system communication to continue since controller or controllers and end users will continue to communicate with the same IP address even after a failover to a different physical server.
· In an HA configuration, the Shared IP address is used to log on to the ICPAM Server Administration utility, and is configured on each controller.
· The Shared IP address and the Eth0 IP address should be on the same subnet.
· The Eth1 port is disabled by default. You can enable and configure the Eth1 port for remote Internet connections to the ICPAM Server Administration utility.
· Eth0 and Eth1 can be on separate subnets.
