Field
Description
You can choose between all routes and all extended routes.
Tracking IP Address
You can use the Tracking IP Address parameter to have a
particular route monitored.
The load balancing status of the interface and the status of the
routes connected to the interface can be influenced using this
parameter. This means that routes can be enabled or disabled
irrespective of the interface's operation status. The connection
is monitored using the gateway's host surveillance function
here. Host surveillance entries must be configured in order to
use this function. These can be configured in the Local Ser-
vices->Surveillance->Hosts menu. Here, it is important that
only the host surveillance entries with the the action Surveil-
lance are taken into account in the context of load balancing.
Links between the load balancing function and the host surveil-
lance function are made through the configuration of the Track-
ing IP Address in the Load Balancing->Load Balancing
Groups->Advanced Settings menu. The interface's load bal-
ancing status now varies according to the status of the assigned
host surveillance entry.
Select the IP address for the route to be monitored.
You can choose from the IP addresses you have entered in the
Local Services->Surveillance->Hosts->New menu under
Monitored IP Address and which are monitored with the aid of
the Action to be executed field (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
