Reference Hosts
Thestandby unit in the failover pair can become active if a network interface on the active unit is faulty, as opposed
tothe case when the entire unit is down. For the Telecommuting Module to detect a faulty interface, it needs to be
awareof some reference hosts which it should be able to contact.
Onthis page, enter IP addresses of reference hosts that will reply to ping from the Telecommuting Module. As
faultyreference hosts will cause the failover pair to repeatedly change the active unit, you should select them with
care.As an extra safety measure, it is recommended that you enter more than one host for each interface.
