Configuring ClusterXL in Bridge Mode - Active/Active with Four Switches

When you define a Bridge interface on a Cluster Member, Bridge Active/Active mode is enabled by default.

Notes:

Example:

Item

Description

1

Network, which an administrator needs to divide into two Layer 2 segments.

The ClusterXL in Bridge Mode connects between these segments.

2

First network segment.

3

Switch that connects the first network segment to one bridged slave interface (6) on the ClusterXL in Bridge Mode.

4

Switch that connects between one switch (that directly connects to the first network segment) and one bridged slave interface (6) on the ClusterXL in Bridge Mode.

5

Dedicated Gaia Management Interface (for example, eth0) on the Cluster Members.

6

One bridged slave interface (for example, eth1) on the Cluster Members in Bridge Mode.

7

First Cluster Member in Bridge Mode (in the Active cluster state).

8

Network that connects dedicated synchronization interfaces (for example, eth3) on the ClusterXL in Bridge Mode.

9

Second Cluster Member in Bridge Mode (in the Active cluster state).

10

Another bridged slave interface (for example, eth2) on the Cluster Members in Bridge Mode.

11

Switch that connects the second network segment to the other bridged slave interface (10) on the ClusterXL in Bridge Mode.

12

Switch that connects between one switch (that directly connects to the second network segment) and the other bridged slave interface (10) on the ClusterXL in Bridge Mode.

13

Second network segment.

Workflow:

  1. Install the two Cluster Members.
  2. Configure the Bridge interface on both Cluster Members - in Gaia Portal, or Gaia Clish.
  3. Configure the ClusterXL in High Availability mode in SmartConsole - in Wizard Mode, or Classic Mode.
  4. Configure the applicable policy for the ClusterXL Cluster in SmartConsole.

The workflow and detailed instructions are the same as in the Configuring ClusterXL in Bridge Mode - Active/Active with Two Switches.
