To Configure a Backup Server

To configure a backup server perform the following steps:

Steps

1. Select a port on the control plane switch to connect a backup server.

2. Assign that port into virtual local area network (VLAN) 9.

3. Connect an appropriate tape backup device directly to the backup server.

4. The IP address x.y.z.212 has been reserved for the backup server. N1 Provisioning Server software provides the x, y, and z values. The x.y.z value is the subnet your N1 Provisioning Server uses. Configure the backup server to use this address.

5. Install and configure backup server software on the backup server according to the supplier's instructions and your local requirements.

   Note –

   The backup server must not route or bridge any Ethernet traffic between VLAN 9 and any other network to prevent unauthorized access to the N1 Provisioning Server network.
