Figure 4-5 Active Path failover configuration: Directed ARP Community Address ARP Configuration: To enable Active Path's Community Address ARP mechanism, select Community Address ARP from the Echo Node Response Mechanism drop-down box. In addition to supplying the Echo Node IP address, it is necessary to supply a Community Probe IP Address. Community Address ARP guidelines: • Use the same Echo Node, Community Probe IP, and Community Probe MAC address for as many servers as possible on the same subnet. This allows a single Echo Node reply from the Echo Node to validate connectivity for all teamed ports on the network. • Ensure the Community Probe IP address and Community Probe MAC address are not used by any other device in the network (other than another team for Community Address ARP). • Ensure the Community Probe IP address and Community Probe MAC address are not used as the team's IP address and/or MAC address. • If DHCP is in use, the IP address for the Community Probe IP address may need to be excluded from the DHCP scope on the DHCP server. 46 The Mechanics of Teaming for the Advanced User
