Hello Intermapper Fans,
Our Internet connection has a partial mesh topology for connecting our
core routers to the Internet. Each firewall + Packetshaper set is
configured in an active/passive mode. (see the image below, if it makes
it out to the list)
When a firewall changes state from active to passive, it brings down its
inside and outside interfaces to prevent loops. So even though we're
fully connected to the Internet, the passive side will always have a
bunch of links down.
I'd like a way to define a group of interfaces as a redundant group
(such as "eth19" on both routers, or "Outside" on both Packetshapers).
As long as at least one of the group is up, the map is happy and
managers don't ask a lot of questions. As it is now, any time we do
maintenance we need to acknowledge the interfaces on the standby side
before the managers see the map.
Is this something we can do today, or does it look like a feature request?
Thanks,
Matt
