Heartbeat

What is Heartbeat?

The Heartbeat process uses unicast over UDP port 6694 to communicate between the Primary and Secondary appliances. The link enables the state of each to be monitored by the other and permits a failover to the passive unit if the active unit should fail.

For hardware appliances, it’s possible to configure both unicast and serial communication if required.
