 Nokia clustering query
We have a nokia cluster running in forwarding mode/load sharing.
We have the general properties of each node configured for the internal ip address of each member.
But the cluster general properties page is set to an address from the clustering interface which is different to physical nodes.
Now the problem with have with this is that some hide nat rules say to hide behind the gateway of the cluster or default to this cluster ip address when going out to the internet which is causing us problems.
The ones that nat to the wrong address are shown as nat install on gateway rdenk3 but the ones that are good are install on all gateways.
I don't understand why this happens within the cluster?
We also have a lot of vpn issues that may be affected by this.
We have set the specifc ip address up for vpn's under the advanced link selection tab so this may not be true.
What we have seen is if we do a ping test from the firewall the address should be sent out of the external interface and given the hide address of the cluster but because of the general properties page of the cluster virtual ip address the firewall is nat'ing it to this cluster ip address and this is failing as it's a private address.
What should the general properties page say for the virtual ip of the cluster member?
I've enclosed some screenshots too.
Many Thanks
