Test LAN Failover of Administrative Matrix

Traffic

Use the following procedure to test the LAN administrative traffic

failover capability of Matrix Server:

1. Connect your matrix servers with at least two physically separate

LANs. Configure the Linux network software to enable the interfaces

to these networks on each of the matrix servers.

2. From the Management Console, log into one of the matrix servers.

3. Observe on the Management Console which of your LANs is currently

being used for matrix administrative traffic. Physically disconnect one

of the serverʹs LAN connections to this network.

4. Observe on the Management Console that Matrix Server has noticed

the network disconnection and has failed over the administrative

matrix traffic to one of the other LANs.

5. Reconnect the disconnected server to the LAN. Observe on the

Management Console that Matrix Server has noticed that network

connectivity has been restored for this LAN.
