4. Select the Active Path Failover option to enable it. Active Path Failover allows a team member
to send a packet to a remote node (called the echo node) and receive a reply to determine
that the team member sending the packet has a path to the node. The absence of a reply
within the specified time period can be used to determine when a team member does not
have a path to the echo node. The default setting is disabled. If Active Path Failover is
enabled, you must enter a valid IP address for the echo node. Entering an Echo Node MAC
address is optional.
5. Click the Echo Node Response Mechanism list and select the type of echo node request
probe to be sent.
• Community Address ARP — (Recommended) tests connectivity using a standard ARP.
This method works for all devices designated as the echo node including routers, HSRP
devices, and Linux servers. If Community Address ARP is selected, you must enter the
IP address to be used for the community probe. You can also configure the MAC address
to be used or use the MAC address default. The advantage of using Community Address
ARP is that it works on all echo node types.
• Directed ARP — tests connectivity with the echo node device using a modified ARP.
This method works for most switches or servers that are designated as the echo node.
It is not recommended for routers or Linux servers. The advantage of using Directed
ARP is that less configuration of parameters is required.
