Configuring Heartbeat using Email Security CLI

Configuring a heartbeat with GMS is exclusively available on the Email Security Command Line Interface (CLI).

To configure a Heartbeat with GMS using the Email Security CLI, complete the following steps:

1	Login to the SNWLCLI as admin.

2	Enter the command gms. This displays the EMS current settings for the GMS heartbeat displayed.

3	Next, set the EMS appliance heartbeat. In this example, the heartbeat interval is 60 seconds.

4	Enter the destination IP address of your GMS server. In this example, the destination IP address is 10.195.11.38.

 

NOTE: It is mandatory to send heartbeat messages to a GMS management server to reliably report the Unit Status (UP or DOWN) for an Email Security appliance in GMS.
