Working with Pingable Hosts

Before you can use Port Connectivity Verification, you must first define your interfaces and host IPv4 addresses in the $FWDIR/conf/pingable_hosts.ips configuration file. When this task is completed, you import the definitions to your SGMs and the enable Port Connectivity Verification.

Port Connectivity Verification is disabled by default.

To define interfaces and host IP addresses:

  1. On an SGM, open $FWDIR/conf/pingable_hosts.ips in a text editor.
  2. Enter the interface and host IPv4 address with this syntax:

    <if_name>;ipv4;<Host_ip>,<Host_ip>...

    Example: eth0-01;ipv4;192.168.2.41,192.168.2.88,192.168.2.123

    Each line contains one port definition, which can include one interface and many host IP addresses separated by commas. Do not put any other data in this file.

  3. Run pingable_hosts load_ips.

Example:

pingable_hosts load_ips

New IPs loaded successfully

Ports and IPs:
-------------------
eth0-1;ipv4;192.168.2.88,192.168/2.123
eth1-01;ipv4;10.2.2.1,10.10.2.2,10.30.2.3

Pingable hosts is DISABLED

Example:

# pingable_hosts enable

1_02:
1_03:
No additional settings, using default values:
