Options 49 ! and 66 are mutually exclusive - 66 is preferred since it provides finer ! management control (e.g. firmware). You can specify your ! SRSS servers in the .parms file itself (so 49 is not needed). It is ! best to provide multiple IP addresses for option 66 for HA purposes, ! so specifying both Sun Ray servers is a good approach. ! ! If you multi-home the Sun Ray servers, they need only share ! one subnet (you don't have to even share a subnet if you utilize ! IP multicast but this configuration is error-prone due to difficulty ! in implementing IP multicast properly in routers/switches).
Thanks for the information and feedback. Does SunRay Server support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging ? ! ! -Bob ! ! _______________________________________________ ! SunRay-Users mailing list !
