Systems and methods for network address failover
First Claim
1. A method for providing failover for a network address in an application gateway device having a first network interface and at least a second network interface, the method comprising:
- receiving a set of configuration data for the application gateway device, the configuration data including a first network address for the first network interface and a second network address for the second network interface;
detecting a failure in the first network interface; and
analyzing the configuration data to determine if the first network address can be used on the second network interface; and
if so, moving the first network address to the second network interface.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide network address failover capability within an application gateway device. In one aspect, a system has a first network interface and a second network interface. The system receives a set of configuration data, the configuration data may include a first network address for the first network interface and a second network address for the second network interface. At startup or during later operation, the system may detect the failure of the first network interface. The configuration data may be analyzed to determine if the first network address can be used on the second network interface. If so, the first network address is moved from the first network interface to the second network interface.
