Edit connection parameters
The first step of configuring failover is to set failover parameters for each connection.
These parameters specify how to test whether a connection is up and functioning
correctly.
On the Network Setup page, click the Failover & H/A tab. A list of the connections that
you have configured is displayed under the Connection Failover tab, alongside ticks
and crosses. The ticks and crosses indicate how the connection behaves at each
failover level, this is discussed further in the section entitled Modify failover levels
(primary, secondary, tertiary).
Click the Edit icon next to the connection to edit its failover parameters. The Name and
Port of this connection is displayed, along with several options.
Select a Test Type. The Ping test is usually appropriate.
• Ping sends network traffic to a remote host at regular intervals, if a reply is received
the connection is deemed to be up.
