- Redundant server public IP
-
Enter the public real IP address for the backup LVS router
node.
- Redundant server private IP
-
Enter the backup node's private real IP address in this text
field.
If you do not see the field called Redundant
server private IP, go back to the GLOBAL
SETTINGS panel and enter a Primary server
private IP address and click ACCEPT.
The rest of the panel is devoted to configuring the heartbeat
channel, which is used by the backup node to monitor the primary
node for failure.
- Heartbeat Interval (seconds)
-
This field sets the number of seconds between heartbeats —
the interval that the backup node will check the functional status
of the primary LVS node.
- Assume dead after (seconds)
-
If the primary LVS node does not respond after this number of
seconds, then the backup LVS router node will initiate
failover.
- Heartbeat runs on port
-
This field sets the port at which the heartbeat communicates
with the primary LVS node. The default is set to 539 if this field
is left blank.
