Duplex LAN configuration overview

The FT server duplex LAN is configured at the factory with Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)
functionality. This is correct, even for an FT server on a system with multiple control networks,
such as a redundant K2 SAN. Since the FT server provides its own "redundancy" it does not
participate in the K2 SAN's redundant control networks. AFT is a feature that places more than one
LAN controller on the same LAN (same segment), and automatically switches the process of the
primary controller to the backup controller when any trouble occurred on the primary.

Instructions are given in this manual for doing the duplex LAN configuration in the unlikely event
it is required at the customer site. If you create a system-specific recovery disk image, all server
configuration can be restored after a failure.

Set duplex LAN configuration

The duplex LAN configuration for the FT server has been done at the factory. There is no need to
redo this configuration after installing your server. However, the procedure is provided here in case
it is needed on the customer site.

To configure the duplex LAN, log on to the FT server using the factory default login, user

In this task you team network adapters, which correspond to the Ethernet connectors on the CPU/IO
