Hi Everyone,

 

I have my 2 NIC's setup in active-backup mode.

 

Apart from using ifstat to monitor traffic or reading dmesg log, is there a better way to view which NIC is active?

 

Is there a plugin that can email me/notify me if a NIC fails and the backup becomes active?

 

I tried searching but couldn't find much.

Thanks (as always) klamath.

 

That's a good way to manually check.

 

Is there a way for notification to be sent in the unraid warning emails?
