Adding a NAC Server

This subcommand is used to assign a NAS server and name to the local Passport 4400 unit, and to specify whether the server is to be primary or secondary. It is also used to specify a Hello time.

Note

Note: When adding a voice server, verify the proper address server is selected in Voice Switching Profile Options.


CLI> add nac server

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Action

<IPAddress>

IPAddress

Enter the IP address of the server. Example: 192.121.17.34.

<Name>

Passport 4430/50/55

"String" (0..50)

 

Passport 4460

"String" (1..50)

 

Enter a string between 0 (no name assigned) and 50 characters. It is the name assigned to the server by the user. Example: my nas server.

<Status>

enabled | disabled

Enter enabled to add a server; enter disabled to remove a server.

<HelloTime>

INTEGER (30..180)

Enter a number from 30 to 180. This number, in seconds, specifies how often the local unit will notify the server of its presence as an active unit. If, for some reason, the local unit stops sending a hello-time signal, the server may eventually remove (purge) the local unit from its DNA list. See aging time, page 11.

<Type>

primary | secondary

Specify whether the server assigned to the local unit is the primary or secondary (backup) server. You may assign only one (or none) primary server; you may assign a multiple of secondary servers. The primary server is always accessed first. If unavailable, one of the secondary servers in rotation is accessed next. If no primary server is assigned (to reduce the load in a busy system), the secondary servers share the load equally, and are accessed in rotation.


Note

Note: All Add commands take effect after the changes have been saved and the Passport 4400 unit has been reset.
