Connection Group - Auto Failover
When an L-serie s device is configured for “Autoconnect,” anytime the device is power cycled, and anytime a
user logs off the device, the device automatically attempts to connect to the vSpace server specified in the
autoconnect parameter.
The L300 adds the concept of a “server group” to the Autoconnect feature which in turn creates the auto
failover feature. By autoconnecting to a group of servers, more flexible connection options are possible.
A “vSpace server group” is a collection of one or more individual vSpace servers specified by a name that is
currently defined from inside each L300 device
’s setup interface.
If a server group contains only one name (or IP address), then the L300 attempts to connect to that server until
successful or until the L300 is reset. If the server group contains more than one name (or IP address), the
L300 tries to connect to the first server in the list, and if no successful connection is made, the L300 attempts
to connect to the second server in the list (i.e., the device does an “auto failover” to the next server). If the
L300 does not successfully connect to the second server in the list, the device attempts to connect to the third
device in the list, etc. When the L300 reaches the end of the list, it starts again at the beginning
of the “server
group” and continues until a connection is made or until the L300 device is reset. (To allow for unusual
requirements or server weighting algorithms, an individual server name or IP address may exist in multiple
places in the list.)
Whenever an L300 disconnects from a session, autoconnect (if set) begins at the top of the connection cycle.
The device does not keep track of the last server to which it successfully connected. Issuing a device reset
command from the admin console will also cause the autoconnect processing to restart at the top of the cycle.
