Accessing Active server from Standby Server Modem

[voippbx]

HELP!

I am connected via ppp to a standby S8710 server. Can i cross over to the active server to use SAT? How do I do it?

go to shell using "go shell" command from terminal and telnet to the ip address of the active server.

if you are on server A, then telnet to server B address. The easiest way is throught the duplication link. Server A is 192.11.13.13 and Server B is 192.11.13.14. Once in, use sat to login to the active server. You do not need to "go shell" as you will not be able to get to SAT on a standby server anyways.

I cannot even telnet into 192.11.13.6 or .13? I am connected to the modem for the standby server and it keeps saying every time I try to telnet to it that SAT cannot be used on the standby server? Even though I am just trying to telnet to it?

Brain fart ... PHQNEMAN is right .. if your on the standby you can be in SAT so go shell is irrelavent.

If you're getting that message it sounds to me like your telnet session is using port 5023 instead of 23. 5023 invokes SAT.

It sounds to me however that you are trying to telnet to the standby and not the active.

From the command line type ifconfig | more. Space bar will let you page through the config information for the network interfaces. If you're on the standby you should see eth0|1|2|3|4 and lo. If you're on the active you'll see sections labeled eth0:0 and 4:0 depending on the configuration. In those sections you should see the "inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address which is the address of the active server.

Telnet to this address. Forgive me for being presumptuous if you already know this information.


Let us know what you get with that info.
