Page 31: Introduction To High Availability Fabric Management
Introduction and General Information Introduction to High Availability Fabric Management The High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to manage users and products, monitor products, and open Element Managers. HAFM Release 8.x is available for installation on the 1U rack-mount appliance (HAFM appliance).
Page 32 Introduction and General Information If you use a private LAN IP address, i.e. 10.x.x.x, this causes this LAN to be designated as the private LAN. You must also have the public LAN connection active when the HAFM server is booting up, or else the HAFM application will interpret this as a single LAN connection configuration, and the 10.x.x.x LAN will be designated as the LAN for remote client sessions.

Page 215: Configuring Tcp Port Numbers To Allow Firewall Access
Configuring HAFM Through a Firewall Configuring TCP Port Numbers to Allow Firewall Access This section provides details about configuring TCP port numbers for RMI Servers and Registries to allow HAFM Client and Server application to function across firewalls. HAFM Function with RMI at TCP Port Level The RMI protocol lies between the HAFM application and the TCP/IP layer, as shown in the following table.
Page 216: Forcing Port In Rmi Registry
Configuring HAFM Through a Firewall The TCP port numbers of the RMI server are randomly and automatically selected on both the HAFM appliance and Client as a full-duplex function. This poses a major problem for firewalls because they need to know which TCP port numbers to pass through and which numbers to block.
