Configuring system settings

/cfg/sys/host #/interface

followed by:

primary

Specifies the primary port in the interface,
on which the active link is set up. If the
primary port fails, the active link is immediately
transferred to a remaining (secondary) port. As
soon as the primary port regains functionality,
the active link is transferred back to the
primary port.

port

is an integer indicating the port

number of the physical port assigned to the
interface. The default is 0 (zero).

The default value of zero means that the
currently active link remains in use until it
fails. If the port fails, the link is transferred to
another port. The link remains active on the
port to which it was transferred, even after the
failed port regains functionality.

The primary port setting applies only when
you have configured more than one port in the
interface, and the mode is failover.

delete

Removes the interface from the system
configuration.

Configuring static routes

To manage static routes on a cluster-wide level when more than one
interface is configured, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/routes

To manage static routes for a particular Nortel SNAS host when more than
one interface is configured, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/host /routes

where

host ID

is an integer automatically assigned to

the host when you perform initial setup on the
Nortel SNAS device.

To manage static routes for a particular interface, use the following
command:

Nortel Secure Network Access Switch
