Configuring Multiple Magnia SG30s on a Single
Network
One possible use of the advanced networking options is to
allow multiple Magnia SG30s to exist in a single small
business network. In this case, all clients require access to
both servers, but some server functions may need to be
disabled on one of the two servers.
Before connecting the two servers, make the following
configuration changes on the servers:
1 Turn off DHCP on the second server.
2 On the server with DHCP turned on, make sure there are
at least two IPs not assigned in the range (for example,
start the IP range at 192.168.1.3).
3 Assign each server private port an IP from the local IP
range. For example, the first server may be 192.168.1.1,
and the second one may be 192.168.1.2.
4 Change the server name of the second server so the two
servers have different names (for example, myserver and
myserver2).
The client computers can be connected to either of the built in
switches.
Once the servers have been configured, connect them using
ports on their built in switches.
Once set up, the two servers are peers on the same network.
The first server will act as the DHCP server for the clients,
which will be able to access the two Magnia SG30s by their
names (myserver and myserver2) or IP addresses
(192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2). The clients can be configured
to access either of the systems as their Internet gateway, email
server, DNS server, etc.
