In a two-armed configuration, you are specifying the port you want to use for 
Nortel SNAS 4050 management traffic.
4
Specify the RIP for this device. This IP address will be assigned to 
Interface 1.
The RIP must be unique on the network and must be within the same subnet 
as the MIP.
5
Specify the network mask for the RIP on Interface 1.
6
If the core router attaches VLAN tag IDs to incoming packets, specify the 
VLAN tag ID used.
If you do not specify a VLAN tag id (in other words, you accept the default 
value of zero), the traffic will not be VLAN tagged. When configuring the 
network access devices in Layer 2 configurations, ensure that you add the 
uplink ports to the Nortel SNAS 4050 management VLAN, for traffic 
between the Nortel SNAS 4050 and the network access device.
Note: You can later convert a one-armed configuration into a two-armed 
one by adding a new interface to the cluster and assigning an unused port 
to that interface. The new interface will be used exclusively for client 
portal traffic. For information about adding a new interface, see 
 or 
. For 
information about assigning ports to an interface, see 
Enter IP address for this machine (on management 
interface): <IPaddr>
Enter network mask [255.255.255.0]: <mask>
Enter VLAN tag id (or zero for no VLAN) [0]:
