Happy New Year ppl,

We are running a cluster of Nokia IP380s running NGX R60 managed in a distributed environment. The license for the Smart Centre is bound to a public IP address of the smart centre server running NGX R60. We have installed a backup managment server (with the eval license) to be used as a cold standby (hence do not want to purchase the extra license for this) in case the primary goes down. We have configured scheduled backups on the primary (live) management server to an scp server daily.

If I configure the backup mngmnt server to the same public IP address and just plug this into the network if my primary goes down and restore the configuration from scp server, will this be enough

Also, what do I need to do to establish SIC with the enforcement modules after putting the secondary smart centre live in production. Do I have to clear arp cache on the enforcement modules and so on ?

Please advise.

Thanks
Usman
