Configuring Internal Interfaces

Pulse One uses the internal interfaces to communicate between the two nodes in an Active/Passive cluster. To enable clustering, each of the two candidate appliances must have its internal interface enabled and have a valid and available IPv4 address assigned to it.

Port 500 is the main communication port for communication between the clustered nodes, see Prerequisites. Pulse One recommends that IPv4 Protocol 51 is enabled.

To enable the internal interfaces:

1.Configure the internal Interface of the proposed Active node:

network interface internal --ip <IPv4 address> --netmask <subnet mask>

For example:

network interface internal --ip 10.64.45.172 --netmask 255.255.0.0

2.Repeat step 1 on the proposed Passive node.

3.Test connectivity between the two appliances:

network ping <internal IP address of the counterpart>

The IP address used to configure internal or external interface should not be in the range 192.170.0.1 – 192.170.0.254.
