High Availability for Exchange 2007 Mailbox Servers • Chapter 8 507 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 1. Click Advanced | Advanced Settings. If it’s not already the case, make sure Public is 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 Networks for the Private network connection, as shown in Figure 8.31. 508 Chapter 8 • High Availability for Exchange 2007 Mailbox Servers Figure 8.31 Binding Order 2. Now confi gure the Public network with the TCP/IP settings that should be used in your environment (see Figure 8.32).

Nothing else is required, since this network is used only for communication (heartbeats) between the nodes in the cluster. 510 Chapter 8 • High Availability for Exchange 2007 Mailbox Servers 1.
