<p class=MsoNormal><font face=Calibri size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>greetings,
in my company we have firewalls with cellular failover/backup cards built in
them. I need to be alerted when we fail over to these cards. I am
currently pinging the T1 WAN interface and get alerts when it goes down, but I
need to get an acknowledgement that the cell card did in fact fail over and the
VPN was re-established. we also want to use this alerting to see if the cards
are randomly dialing out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font face=Calibri size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font face=Calibri size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>If
I ping the cell cards static IP it is down (red) when it is not dialed, so I
need alert on green status. I also do not want my main status pages to be red
all the time. is there a way to say "red is good, but green is
bad"?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font face=Calibri size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font face=Calibri size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Other
monitoring tools allow for contingencies like 'if the WAN IP is down, then try
pinging the WWAN IP, but do not ping WWAN IP until then." can hobbit do
this?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
