Failover Cluster Network Connections Test
A failover cluster requires network connectivity among nodes and between clients and nodes. Problems with a network adapter or Ethernet ports or other network device (either physical problems or configuration problems) can interfere with connectivity. Administrators should therefore check the connectivity status of the network adapters/devices/Ethernet ports round the clock to avoid failure of the failover cluster. The Failover Cluster Network Connections test helps administrators in this regard!
This test reports the current network connection state of each Ethernet port in the failover cluster. Using this test, administrators can proactively detect abnormalities in the failover cluster and maintain communication between the clients and nodes within the cluster.
Target of the test : A node in a Windows cluster
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Ethernet port in the failover cluster being monitored

The values that this measure can report and the states they indicate have been listed in the table below:
Note: By default, this measure can report the State mentioned above while indicating the current network connection state of each Ethernet port. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents. The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the network, the name of the adapter, the ID of the network adapter and the IP address. |
