11.3.3 Command-line configuration
The High Availability configuration can be performed from the command line using the statements saved in the configuration file by the GUI.
Example 11-6 shows the commands for the primary Load Balancer in the MAC forwarding scenario.
Note that each individual command has to be on one line in the configuration file. However, because of size limitations, some lines might be printed on two lines in our examples.

For NAT forwarding without collocation, the configuration files are changed similarly. The three dscontrol highavailability lines are added with the respective parameters for primary and backup machine, and all dscontrol executor configure lines are removed.
For NAT forwarding with collocation, refer to the Load Balancer Administration Guide, GC31-6858.
