About the IP addresses
Management IP address
The Management IP address (MIP) identifies the Nortel SNAS in the
network. In a multi-Nortel SNAS solution, the MIP is an IP alias to one
of the Nortel SNAS devices in the cluster and identifies the cluster. The
MIP always resides on a master Nortel SNAS device. If the master Nortel
SNAS that currently holds the MIP fails, the MIP automatically migrates to
a functional master Nortel SNAS. In order to configure the Nortel SNAS or
Nortel SNAS cluster remotely, you connect to the MIP using Telnet (for the
CLI) or SSH (for the CLI, the SREM or the BBI).
Portal Virtual IP address
The portal Virtual IP address (pVIP) is the address assigned to the Nortel
SNAS device’s web portal server. The pVIP is the address to which clients
connect in order to access the Nortel SNAS network. While the client is in
the Red VLAN and the Nortel SNAS is acting as DNS server, the pVIP is
the DNS server IP address. Although it is possible to assign more than
one pVIP to a Nortel SNAS device, Nortel recommends that each Nortel
SNAS have only one pVIP. When the Nortel SNAS portal is configured as
a captive portal, the pVIP is used to load balance logon requests.
