Hello folks,
I'm on my way to setup 2 asg120 (web / net subscriptions) HA - Active/Passive, so I have a few questions.
My plan is the follwing:
1. Connect all cables
1.1 Both asgs to all switches, router, and the between the asgs using a cross cable for HA.
Question >> Is it necessary to use a cross cable for the HA heartbeat signal?
2. Power up
2.2 Everything except the wan-router (for security reason) and the second asg box/node
3. Configure the first asg box/node completely.
Question: Is it just a good idea to configure the master completely or not?
4. At this point I would activate the HA feature.
Question: What are the difference or advantage between the automatic configuration and the hot standby-active/passive ?
Question: Is the HA automatic configuration setting default on or off?
4.4. So depending on my question about the default HA setting, I would just power up the second node and the second node will automatically gets synced and gets active under webadmin as second node...that's it?
Bonus question: If the HA system is up and running, is it true that the system will generate virtual mac adresses for the network interfaces?
Due to a special ISP thing, it is necessary for us to verify the wan mac adress with the ISP to get the network up and running, which is normally not a big thing, but in a HA situation and if a hardware failure occurs, it is worst case if the mac changed.
I would appreciate If someone could inspect my steps and to clarify my questions.
Best,
Zerb
