Cluster Object in NGX R60

[tangerine0072000]

Hi there,
Configured many clusters in R55 and below using Nokia's and VRRP. Little confused today after doing my first NGX R60 cluster.

When creating the cluster object within the GUI the option to define the 'syncronization network' appears to have moved in R60, into the topology tab with multiple options for clustersing and synchronisation such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. anyone know what the best option is for defineing a single network for synchronisation ?

Yeah, they changed the way you define clusters around a little bit. Overall I think it's better, but you do need to work out where some things have moved to.

On your toplogy tab, for the cluster network, define it as "1st sync". Define topology on each node's interface. No need to set up a cluster interface. All your other interfaces will be cluster interfaces, with the VRRP IP defined under the cluster column, along with topology. No need to define topology separately for each node.

2nd sync, etc, are for if you have multiple synchronisation networks. Since you don't, don't worry about it.
