3. System Configuration 3.6.3 Select Failover or Broadband OOB The B093 and B098 console servers provide a failover option. In the event a problem arises while using the main LAN connection for accessing the console server, an alternate access path is automatically used. By default, the failover is not enabled. To enable: • Select the Network page on the System: IP menu. • Now select the Failover Interface to be used in the event of an outage on the main network. This can be: o A second Ethernet connection on the console server. o The console server's internal modem. o An external modem device connected to the console server. • Click Apply. You have selected the failover method. However, it is not active until you have specified the external sites to be probed to trigger failover and set up the failover ports themselves. For more information, refer to section 5. Firewall, Failover and OOB Access. Note: The second Ethernet port on the console server can be configured as either a Management LAN gateway port or it can be configured as an OOB/Failover port, but not both. Ensure you did not configure this port as the Management LAN on the System: IP menu. 29
