Cluster network implications
The cluster network’s role in cluster management makes it undesirable to have the same failover
characteristics as a user network. Instead, it is important that each FSN has a unique identity on
the cluster network. If a FSN is degraded and the user network fails over to a backup FSN, the
degraded FSN can still be monitored and managed using the cluster network.
FSN customer integration features
The IBRIX platform supports features that are not required when implementing a fully redundant
IBRIX cluster, but are supported to ease integration with existing customer networking infrastructure
and policy.
