Confi guring the Network Interface

for Each Node

When you start the servers that are to be the nodes in the cluster, begin by naming the machines

EDFS07 and EDFS08 or whatever naming scheme you want to use (These names have nothing to

do with the Exchange server name that your clients will be confi gured to connect to later.) Now

name the two network connections Public and Private (see Figure 8.30) for the external and the

internal networks, respectively Remember to do this on both nodes

Figure 8.30 Network Connections

listed fi rst on the binding order list, then Private, and Remote Access Connections last

Also make sure that you clear the File and Printer Sharing check box for Microsoft

Figure 8.31 Binding Order

environment (see Figure 8.32)

We also need to confi gure the Private network with an IP address and a subnet mask, as

shown in Figure 8.33 Nothing else is required, since this network is used only for communication

(heartbeats) between the nodes in the cluster

1 Click Advanced , then select the DNS tab Here you should clear both the Register this

connection’s addresses in DNS and Use this connection’s DNS suffi x check boxes,

as shown in Figure 8.34
