Layer 3 Configuration Menu
This menu provides commands for performing IP routing functions
Alteon uses a combination of configurable IP interfaces and IP routing options. Alteon IP routing capabilities provide the following benefits:
*Connects the server IP subnets to the rest of the backbone network.
*Performs Server Load Balancing (using both Layer 3 and Layer 4 in combination) to server subnets that are separate from backbone subnets.
*Routing IP traffic between multiple Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) configured on Alteon.

Displays the IP Domain Name System menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/l3/dns Domain Name System Configuration Menu.
bootp
 
Displays the Bootstrap Protocol menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/l3/bootp Bootstrap Protocol Relay Configuration Menu.
hamode disabled|vrrp|switch|service
 
Sets the high availability mode.
Values:
*disabled — Alteon does not support high availability configurations.
*vrrp — A legacy mode that maintains the Alteon high availability module as implemented in software versions earlier than 30.1.
*switch — A switch-based group aggregates all virtual IP addresses on an Alteon as a single entity. The active Alteon supports all traffic or services. The backup Alteon acts as a standby for services on the active primary Alteon. If the primary Alteon fails, the backup Alteon takes over processing for all services.
*service — Several virtual IP addresses can be grouped together and behave as a single entity for failover purposes. A service group is comprised of several virtual IP addresses and their associated floating IP addresses. You can define up to 64 service groups on a single Alteon platform.
Default: disabled
