IP | Specifies the destination IP address. | Enter the destination IP address. |
Add | Adds the destination address. | Click Add to add the destination address. |
Delete | Deletes the destination address. | Click Delete to delete the destination address. |
| Interface | ||
Interface | Specifies the interfaces available for the router. Note: Allows you to add and edit two interfaces fore each fabric link. | Select one of the options available. |
IP | Specifies the interface IP address | Enter the interface IP address. |
Add | Adds the interface. | Click Add to add the interface. |

Table 98: Add HA Cluster Settings Details
| Field | Function | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric Link > Fabric Link 0 (fab0) | ||
Interface | Specifies fabric link 0. | Enter the interface IP fabric link 0. |
Add | Adds fabric interface 0. | Click Add to add fabric interface 0. |
Delete | Deletes fabric interface 0. | Click Delete to delete fabric interface 0. |
| Fabric Link > Fabric Link 1 (fab1) | ||
Interface | Specifies fabric link 1. | Enter the interface IP for fabric link 1. |
Add | Adds fabric interface 1. | Click Add to add fabric interface 1. |

Allow preemption of primaryship | Allows a node with a better priority to initiate a failover for a redundancy group. | By default, this feature is disabled. When disabled, a node with a better priority does not initiate a redundancy group failover (unless some other factor, such as faulty network connectivity identified for monitored interfaces causes a failover). |
