I was looking at the system failure notification section of the Nokia to
set up the email alert when failover happens. What happens if the
interface that fails is the one that connects to the smtp server? I assume
no alert arrives anywhere, but can someone confirm this? That implies I
would need an external monitoring point to check that the firewall is healthy.
The second question appears: what do people do to monitor their
Nokias? Do most people use the failover Nokia to ping the interfaces on
the first one and send an alert if an interface fails to respond? Or is
there a built-in alert function that get activated when the failover system
assumes the virtual IP? Or do most people use an unrelated (non-firewall)
monitoring system?
