Configuring interface monitoring

Configuring interface monitoring

Interface monitoring checks the local interfaces on the primary unit. If a malfunctioning interface is detected, a failover triggers.

  1. Go to System > High Availability > Configuration.
  2. Under Interface, select the port/interface you would like to configure and click Edit.
  3. Note that the interface IP address must be different from, but on the same subnet as, the IP address of the other heartbeat network interfaces of other members in the HA group.
