Adding ping targets for Geo Redundant High Availability

About this task

Follow this procedure to add ping targets for the Geo Redundant High Availability feature. Ping targets are used to determine the health of a specific network up to a specific network node. Using ping targets, you can gauge the health of the network and determine which AE Services server should be active.

Adding ping targets is an optional procedure.

    A new, blank row appears for the ping target you want to add.

  4. Click the check box next to the new ping target.
  5. In the Ping Target (IP Address/Hostname) box, enter the IP address or hostname of the appropriate network node.
    noteNote

    Only IPv4 addresses are supported.

  7. In the Timeout (sec) box, enter the timeout interval for this target. The default is 600 seconds.
