What is floating IP
Hi,

I need to understand the concept of floating IP and how can I get it working on my system. I am using Itanium boxes.

I am naive so please help me from the very basics.

A quick Google on "HP-UX" "Floating IP" came across this document, amongst many. No endorsement or warranty implied but it does seem to explain the subject quite well. DYOR.

In most cases it either :

Load balancing address e.g

192.168.0.15 - LB address (redirection of network traffic to >)

192.168.0.14 WEB/APP node 1
192.168.0.13 WEB/APP node 2

That way, the 192.168.0.15 is the address for both APP 1 and APP 2
Depending on the avalibility of node, of course.

Other case would be cluster address, which is a address on virtual interface which transfers to other node with other configuration (disks, service etc.)

Hope that clears things out

Regards
Peasant.
