N+1 Redundancy
© 2012 Meru Networks, Inc. Implementing Redundancy 95
Starting N+1 on Master Controllers
N+1 must first be started on the Master Controllers.
To configure a master controller:
1. On each master controller, enter configuration mode and start the N+1 software:
master# configure terminal
master(config)# nplus1 start master
2. Exit configuration mode and check that the N+1 software has been started on that
controller:
master(config)# exit
master# sh nplus1
-----------------------------------------------------
Master controller
Master IP : 10.1.1.10
Master Hostname : master
-----------------------------------------------------
Configuring N+1 on the Slave Controller
After starting N+1 on each of the Master Controllers, start N+1 on the Slave
Controller, and then add each Master Controller to the Slave Controller.
To configure N+1 on the slave controller, follow these steps:
1. Enter configuration mode and start the N+1 software:
slave# configure terminal
slave(config)# nplus1 start slave
Setting up this controller as a Passive Slave controller
3000-slave(config)#
2.
nplus1 start slave Start N+1on the slave controller.
3.
nplus1 add
master_hostname
master_IP_address
Add the master controller’s hostname and IP address to
the slave’s cluster list.
Step Command Description
Note:
The Slave Controller must be the last controller in the cluster to start
N+1. All Master Controllers must be added to the cluster before starting
N+1 on the Slave Controller.
