Chapter 3 SSR Configuration
Heartbeat bondHB
The heartbeat bond is a monitoring mechanism that ensures both SSRs can communicate with each other
in the event of a single point of communication failure. On both SSRs, eth1 and eth2 interfaces need to
be available so that they can be used to create this network bond.
Note eth1 and eth2 ports on both SSRs will not be visible/available on the GUI under the Network Settings.
Upon uninstall of the v5.0.1.3 WSP, the bondHB will be visible in the GUI on both SSRs. Do not edit or
delete the bondhb from any of the SSRs. Please contact Cisco Technical Support.
