Table 3-1 Remote Server Elements
Name | Description | Data Input Notes |
---|---|---|
Remote Server Name | The Remote Server Name is a unique name within the system that can be repeated to associate it with multiple Local Server Groups |
Format: Text box. Valid characters are alphabetic (a-z, A-Z), numeric (0-9), hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.). Must contain at least one letter and cannot begin with a number. Range: Up to 32 characters |
Remote Server IPv4 Address | The IPv4 address of the Remote Server |
Format: Valid IP address Range: IPv4 address IPv4 addresses are 32 bits and represented in a dot-decimal notation like this: x.x.x.x where each x (called an octet) is a decimal value from 0 to 255. They are separated by periods. For example, 1.2.3.4 and 192.168.1.100 are valid IPv4 addresses. |
Remote Server IPv6 Address | The IPv6 address of the Remote Server |
Format: Valid IP address Range: IPv6 IP address IPv6 addresses are 128 bits and represented in a colon-hexdecimal notation like this: z:z:z:z:z:z:z:z where each z is a group of hexadecimal digits ranging from 0 to ffff. They are separated by colons. Leading zeros may be omitted in each group. "::" can be used (at most once) in an IPv6 address to represent a range of as many zero fields as needed to populate the address to eight fields. So the IPv6 address 2001:db8:c18:1:260:3eff:fe47:1530 can also be represented as 2001:0db8:0c18:0001:0260:3eff:fe47:1530 and the IPv6 address ::1 is the same as 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 |
Remote Server Mode | The Mode in which the Remote Server operates. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: Client, Server |
Local Server Group | Identifies the Local Server Group associated with the Remote Server. The name of the group of local servers that establish connections with this Remote Server. |
Format: Drag and drop boxes containing Available server groups on the left side and Assigned on the right side Range: All named C-level server groups |
IP Address Preference | Identifies the Preferred IP Address for connection establishment. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: IPv4 Preferred, IPv6 Preferred, or ComAgent Network Preference Default: ComAgent Network Preference |
