Routing
Method for VIP
Addresses

After setting up the service, you must configure the SA8220 to route
the VIP address to the Internet. There are two possibilities:

In single SA8220 installations, “Standalone” mode is preferred
as it allows the VIP to be ARP-accessible from the router.

If there are multiple address spaces (such as a SA8220 on the
10.x.x.x network and a VIP on the 209.x.x.x), then a routing
protocol might be the best method to advertise the VIP. When
configuring routing on the SA8220, always match the router's
configuration. The SA8220 can be programmed to use RIP v1,
RIP v2, or OSPF.

For example (standalone mode):

HP SA8220#config route

HP SA8220/config/route#info
