Setting Up SAE Communities

You can configure the following for SAE communities:

See Defining SAE Communities.

See Configuring the SAE Community Manager.

See Specifying the SAE Community Manager.

Defining SAE Communities

You define SAE communities by entering the SAEs in a community in the connected SAE field of the virtual router object.

When you modify a community, wait for passive session stores on the new community members to be updated before you shut down the current active SAE. Otherwise, if you add a new member to a community, and then a failover from the current active SAE to the new member is triggered immediately, the new member's session store may not have received all data from the active SAE's session store.

To define a community, select the SAE Connection tab of the VirtualRouter pane in SDX Admin, and add the addresses of SAEs that can manage the device.

To add an SAE:

  1. Type the IP address of the SAE in the field below the Connected SAE box.
  2. Click Add.

Modifying an SAE Address

To modify an SAE address:

  1. Click the IP address of the SAE in the Connected SAE box.
  2. Modify the IP address in the field below the Connected SAE box.
  3. Click Modify.

Deleting an SAE Address

To delete an SAE address:

  1. Click the IP address of the SAE in the Connected SAE box.
  2. Remove the IP address from the field below the Connected SAE box.
  3. Click Delete.
