Importing
GSS

Devices
This
section

shows

how

to

import

GSS

devices

into

ANM.
Guidelines
and

Restrictions
Follow
these

guidelines

for

importing

GSS

devices

into

ANM:

•
You
onl

y

need

to

i

mport

the

pri

mary

GSSM

into
ANM—You
are
not
required
or

pe

rmitted

t

o
add
either
the

standby

GSSM

or

GSS

device.

ANM

communicates

only

with

the

primary

GSSM

for
activation
and

suspension

of

DNS

rules

and

virtual

IP

(VIP)

answers

and

for

collecting

statistics.

•
GSS
graphical

user

interface

(GUI)

and

CLI

must

have
matching
passwords—The
username
that
you
configure

while

adding

a

GSS

device

to

ANM

must

be

the

same

on

both

the

GSS

GUI

and

GSS
CLI.

•
Communication
between
ANM

and

the

primary

GSSM

is

accomplished
using

the

GSS
Communication
Ethernet

Interface—This

interface

is

used

for

internal

communication

between

the
primary
GSSM

and

the

other

GSS

devices

in

the

GSS

cluster.

Beginning

with

ANM

4.3,

ANM

uses
Java
Remote

Method

Invocation

(RMI)

only

to

communicate

with

GSS

devices

using

software
Version
3.3

or

later

versions.

If

the

GSS

device

is

using

an

earlier

version

of

software

and

ANM
cannot
communicate

with

it

using

RMI,

ANM

uses

Secure

Shell

(SSH).
Ta
b

l

e


5-7

lists

the

TCP

ports

that

ANM

uses

to

communicate

with

GSS

devices.
Note
When
ANM

uses

SSH

for

GSS

communication,

terminal
length
settings

are
set

to

0

during

import,
synchronization,
and

background

polling.

The

previous

terminal

length

settings

that

you

had

before
import,
synchronization,

and

background

polling

is

performed

are

not

preserved.
