Configuring Protocols

If you plan to use TCP/IP, obtain your IP address and subnet

information prior to installation. You may have a DHCP server that

will provide the IP information automatically. If you are not sure if

you have a DHCP server or what IP address to use, contact your

network administrator.

In the Network Setup dialog box click the Bindings tab.

In the show bindings drop-down box, highlight all protocols.

Highlight the protocols you wish to bind and click Enable.

Disable all other protocols.

Note:

Use reliable transport protocols like TCP/IP and

IPX for reliable data transmission between the server

and the clients. If you use NetBeui, make sure it is last

in the protocol stack list.

Click OK.

Click Finish in the Network Settings dialog box and reboot

your system for the settings to take effect.

Monitoring Failover Pairs

There are two ways to monitor the status of Failover Pairs:

■

SNMP Manager—when failover occurs SNMP traps are sent to

network management stations and error logs are updated

through the operating system event log. To enable SNMP

agents, compile the following MIB file on the SNMP

management station:

DURALINK.MIB

■

Event Viewer Dialog Box—the local event viewer dialog box

will log failover problems.
