Activate IP Failover Type: Boolean
Range: true/false
Default: true
Enables the RTP Media Portal
Host to monitor the status of the
MCP Service Network Interface
and react accordingly. This basic
capability enables the system to
maintain service availability in the
wake of MCP Service Network
failures. Whenever an RTP Media
Portal Host detects that it is having
problems with its MCP Service
Network interface, the Host
switches to the other available
MCP Service Network interface.
Note: There are two tests
associated with the activation of
Host IP Failover: a carrier sense
test and an optional network (ping)
test. Upon activation of Host IP
failover, the carrier sense test is
automatically provided. Enabling
of the optional network test is
controlled by the “Activate IP
Failover NW Test” configuration
parameter. Enabling the optional
network test will generate a
periodic ping to the default
gateway on the MCP Service
Network which was configured on
the Host during installation and
commissioning.
Activate IP Failover NW Test Type: Boolean
Range: true/false
Default: false
This configuration parameter is
associated with the “Activate IP
Failover” configuration parameter.
Please refer to Note in description
of the “Activate IP Failover”
configuration parameter for
details.
