Setting Up SAE Communities
You can configure the following for SAE communities:
- Define the members of an SAE community by adding the IP addresses of SAEs in the community to the virtual router object of the network device in the directory. Use the
sae-connection
option.See Adding Virtual Router Objects.
See Configuring the SAE Community Manager.
See Specifying the Community Manager in the SAE Device Driver.
Configuring the SAE Community Manager
Use the following configuration statements to configure the SAE community manager that manages third-party network device communities:
shared sae configuration external-interface-featuresname
CommunityManager {keepalive-intervalkeepalive-interval
; threadsthreads
; acquire-timeoutacquire-timeout
; blackout-timeblackout-time
;}To configure the community manager:
- From configuration mode, access the configuration statements for the community manager. In this sample procedure, sae_mgr is the name of the community manager.
user@host#edit shared sae configuration external-interface-features sae_mgr CommunityManager
- Specify the interval between keepalive messages sent from the active SAE to the passive members of the community.
[edit shared sae configuration external-interface-features sae_mgr CommunityManager]user@ho
st#set keepalive-interval
keepalive-interval
- Specify the number of threads that are allocated to manage the community. You generally do not need to change this value.
[edit shared sae configuration external-interface-features sae_mgr CommunityManager]user@ho
st#set threads
threads
- Specify the amount of time an SAE waits for a remote member of the community when it is acquiring a distributed lock. You generally do not need to change this value.
[edit shared sae configuration external-interface-features sae_mgr CommunityManager]user@ho
st#set acquire-timeout
acquire-timeout
- Specify the amount of time that an active SAE must wait after it shuts down before it can try to become the active SAE of the community again.
[edit shared sae configuration external-interface-features sae_mgr CommunityManager]user@ho
st#set blackout-time
blackout-time
- (Optional) Verify the configuration of the SAE community manager.
[edit shared sae configuration external-interface-features sae_mgr CommunityManager]user@host#show
CommunityManager {keepalive-interval 30;threads 5;acquire-timeout 15;blackout-time 30;}Specifying the Community Manager in the SAE Device Driver
Use the following configuration statements to specify the community manager in the SAE device driver.
shared sae configuration driver third-party {sae-community-managersae-community-manager
;}To specify the community manager:
- From configuration mode, access the configuration statements for the third-party device driver.
user@host#edit shared sae configuration driver third-party
- Specify the name of the community manager.
[edit shared sae configuration driver third-party]user@ho
st#set sae-community-manager
sae-community-manager
- (Optional) Verify the configuration of the third-party device driver.
[edit shared sae configuration driver third-party]user@ho
st#show
sae-community-manager sae_mgr;
