HA WAN Monitor

Lanky Doodle

Hi,

What's the determiner for this being up or down, and in turn failing over or not?

Let's say I have this topology:

XG1 WAN > Switch 1 > Router port 1
XG2 WAN > Switch 2 > Router port 2
XG1 LAN > Switch 1 > LAN port 1
XG2 LAN > Switch 2 > LAN port 2

XG1 goes offline (either completely, WAN port or LAN port) = should fail over to XG2
Switch 1 goes offline = should fail over to XG2
Router port 1 goes offline, but Switch 1 is still up = should fail over to XG2

In the last one, if the Switch that XG1 WAN port is connected to is still actually up, would a WAN monitored port still be seen as up and not fail over?

Thanks

    We're in Active/Passive mode at the moment.

    Yeah so I interpret that as if it's the router port that goes down XG will see the WAN port as up as the device it's connected to will be up. Even though the WAN port now has no route to the internet.

    I suppose a better way is saying I need to monitor beyond the XGs nearest neighbour.
