How to configure Network Connector agents

In this document, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to configure Network Connector agents.

Requirements

It's necessary to have the agent Network Connector installed. To do this, follow the steps in the document How to install Network Connector.

Configure Network Connector agents

On the machine where the primary Network Connector agent is installed:

Locate the docker-compose.yml file of the Network Connector agent.
Change the SENHASEGURA_SECONDARY parameter value to false in the primary agent's docker-compose.yml file.

The docker-compose.yml file should look like this example:

services:
 senhasegura-network-connector-agent:
   image: "registry.senhasegura.io/network-connector/agent-v2:latest"
   restart: unless-stopped
   networks:
    - senhasegura-network-connector
   environment:
    SENHASEGURA_FINGERPRINT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_PORT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_ADDRESSES: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_SECONDARY: "false"
networks:
 senhasegura-network-connector:
   driver: bridge

Configure secondary agents

Change the SENHASEGURA_SECONDARY parameter value to true in the docker-compose.yml file of all secondary agents.

The docker-compose.yml file should look like this example:

services:
 senhasegura-network-connector-agent:
   image: "registry.senhasegura.io/network-connector/agent-v2:latest"
   restart: unless-stopped
   networks:
    - senhasegura-network-connector
   environment:
    SENHASEGURA_FINGERPRINT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_PORT: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_ADDRESSES: "CHANGE_ME"
    SENHASEGURA_AGENT_SECONDARY: "true"
networks:
 senhasegura-network-connector:
   driver: bridge

After configuring the agents in the Network Connector Server you can switch agents via an SSH/Telnet connection. Even if you choose to shut down the primary agent, you won’t lose remote access, as the secondary SNC will automatically take over.

Manage the primary and secondary Network Connector

To turn off the Network Connector primary, access the network-connector-ha-dr-one and run the docker-compose down command. To turn off the Network Connector secondary, access the network-connector-ha-dr-two and run the docker-compose down command.
