Chapter 5 Configuring vCenter Server Heartbeat
To configure Principal (Public) IP address
1Click the Public tab and list all the addresses used as Principal (Public) IP addresses.
An address must not appear more than once. The Principal (Public) IP addresses listed cannot be the same
as any of the IP addresses listed in the Channel tab.
2 To add an address, double-click a row and type in the address or select it from a list of currently defined
addresses.
3Click Next or Finish.
Enabling Network Monitoring
vCenter Server Heartbeat can monitor the connection between the active server and the Principal (Public)
network. VMware recommends that you enable this feature.
The network is monitored by pinging a set of machines on the Principal (Public) network. If enabled, the
system routinely pings a set of default set of addresses. Use the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console to change
the configuration after installation.
