You can select from all routes and all extended routes.
Tracking IP Address
The parameter Tracking IP Address serves to monitor a spe-
cific route by modifying the load balancing status of he respect-
ive interface or the routes connected with the interface. This
means that routes can be activated or deactivated independ-
ently from the opreation status of the interface. The interface is
monitored by means of the host surveillance function of the
gateway. Therefore, the configuration of host surveillance
entries is mandatory. This is done in the menu Local Services-
>Surveillance->Hosts. It is vital to keep in mind that only
entries with the action Surveillance are respected. The host
surveillance is then linked to the load balancing function by con-
figuring Tracking IP Address in the menu Load
Balancing->Load Balancing Groups->Advanced Settings.
The load balancing status now changes acording to the status
of the assigned host surveillance entry.
Select the IP address of the route to be monitored.
You can select from the IP addresses which have been entered
under Monitored IP Address in the Local Services->Surveil-
lance->Hosts->New menu and which are monitered with the
aid of Action to be performed (Action =

) .
14.3.2 Special Session Handling
Special Session Handling enables you to route part of the data traffic to your device via a
particular interface. This data traffic is excluded from the Load Balancing function.
You can use the Special Session Handling function with online banking, for example, to
ensure that the HTTPS data traffic is sent to a particular link. Since a check is run in online
banking to see whether all the data traffic comes from the same source, data transmission
using Load Balancing might be terminated at times without Special Session Handling.
The Networking->Load Balancing->Special Session Handling menu displays a list of
entries. If you have not configured any entries, the list is empty.
Every entry contains parameters which describe the properties of a data packet in more or
less detail. The first data packet which the properties configured here match specifies the
route for particular subsequent data packets.
Which data packets are subsequently routed via this route is configured in the Networking-
