List of Critical Resources

A critical resource can be a gateway, AAA server, WAN interface or any hardware or service on which the stability of the network depends. Critical resources are pinged regularly. If there‘s a connectivity issue, an event is generated stating a critical resource is unavailable. By default, there‘s no enabled critical resource policy and one needs to be created and implemented.

To set a list of critical resources:

1. Select Configuration → Profiles.

   A list of profiles (default and user-created) is displayed.

2. Select a profile from the displayed list.

   The selected profile's configuration menu is displayed.

3. Select Critical Resources.

   The List of Critical Resources screen displays.

   

   Configuration - Profiles - Critical Resources - List of Critical Resources Screen

   

4. Review existing CR configuration.

   The screen lists the destination IP addresses or interfaces (VLAN, WWAN, or PPPoE) used for critical resource connection. IP addresses can be monitored directly by the access point or controller, whereas a VLAN, WWAN or PPPoE must be monitored behind an interface.

5. Click Add to add a new critical resource and connection method, or select and existing resource and select to update the resource‘s configuration.
