Configuring LiveLink for a Smart Load Balancing and Failover and SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) Team
LiveLink is a feature of BASP that is available for the Smart Load Balancing (SLB) and SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) type of teaming.
The purpose of LiveLink is to detect link loss beyond the switch and to route traffic only through team members that have a live link.
Read the following notes before you attempt to configure LiveLink.
NOTES:
Before you begin configuring LiveLink™, review the description of LiveLink. Also verify that each probe target you plan
to specify is available and working. If the IP address of the probe target changes for any reason, LiveLink must be
reconfigured. If the MAC address of the probe target changes for any reason, you must restart the team (see
"Troubleshooting").
