5. Use the Offline Resource Detection drop-down menu to define how critical resource event
messages are generated. Options include Any and All. If selecting Any, an event is generated
when the state of any single critical resource changes. If selecting All, an event is generated
when the state of all monitored critical resources change.
6. Select the IP checkbox (within the Monitor Via field at the top of the screen) to monitor a critical
resource directly (within the same subnet) using the provided critical resource IP address as a
network identifier.
7. Select the Interface checkbox (within the Monitor Via field at the top of the screen) to monitor a
critical resource using either the critical resource’s VLAN, WWAN1 or PPPoE1 interface. If VLAN
is selected, a spinner control is enabled to define the destination VLAN ID used as the
interface for the critical resource.
8. Select + Add Row to define the following for critical resource configurations:
9. Select the Monitor Interval tab.
IP Address Provide the IP address of the critical resource. This is the address used to ensure the critical
resource is available. Up to four addresses can be defined.
Mode Set the ping mode used when the availability of a critical resource is validated. Select from:
•
arp-only – Use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for only pinging the critical resource.
ARP is used to resolve hardware addresses when only the network layer address is known.
•
arp-and-ping – Use both ARP and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for pining the
critical resource and sending control messages (device not reachable, requested service
not available, etc.).
Port Use the drop-down menu to provide the physical port for each critical resource. The ports
available depend on the device in use.
VLAN Define the VLAN on which the critical resource is available using the spinner control.
