  1. From the Data Management tab, select the DNS tab -> Traffic Control tab, and then click Manage Health Monitors in the Toolbar.
  2. In the Health Monitors Manager, click the arrow next to the Add icon and select PDP Health Monitor.
  3. In the PDP Health Monitor Wizard, complete the following:
    • Name: Enter a name for the PDP health monitor.
    • Interval (seconds): Enter the interval value in seconds. The health monitor runs only for the specified interval and it is measured from the end of the previous monitor cycle. The default value is five.
    • Timeout (seconds): Enter the timeout value in seconds. The monitor waits for the number of seconds that you specify after sending a response. If it does not receive a response within the number of seconds that you specify, then the appliance considers this check as failed. The monitor discards any response it receives after the timeout. The default value is 15.
    • Retry Up Count: Enter a retry up count. When you specify a value, the appliance checks whether the server is up based on the following:

      . For example, if you specify the interval as five seconds and the retry up count as 10 seconds, then the appliance tries to connect to the server every five seconds for a period of 50 seconds. If the server is down initially, the appliance tries to connect to the server for 50 seconds in sequence. When the connection is successful, the PDP monitor considers the server to be up. If the server is unavailable for an entire period of 50 seconds, the appliance considers this connection as a failure.

    • RetryDownCount: Enter a retry down count. The PDP monitor considers the server unavailable only if the server is unavailable during the period:

      . For example, if you specify the interval as five seconds and the retry down count as 10 seconds, then the appliance checks if the server is unavailable for 50 seconds in sequence. If the server is unavailable for an entire period of 50 seconds, the appliance considers the server to be down.

    • Port: Specify a port for PDP connection. The appliance displays 2123by 2123 by default. You can specify a value between zero and 65535.
    • Comment: Enter information about the PDP health monitor.
