Network Routing Configuration

Properly configure the network routing to prevent errors.

The routing configuration of a KMA affects responses to agent discovery requests. Mistakes in the routing configuration can lead to erroneous cluster information being provided to agents. This could cause agents to attempt communication with KMAs that they cannot reach over the network.

When planning the OKM network, observe the following:

• Use the KMA console network menu option to configure a route between sites. Do not configure a default route.

  Note:

  Oracle does not recommend starting with a multi-site service network topology.

• When planning for a multi-site service network, determine a subnet addressing scheme for the KMA service ports and drives. You must avoid duplicate network addresses and use of 172.18.18.x networks (a common convention).
• Use of default gateway settings can affect failover performance. Consult a network engineer to plan for failover capability.
