Network settings required for LifeKeeper.

1. Start PowerShell for administrators.

2. Run the ipconfig command and check the network adapter names of the primary and secondary NICs from the configured IP addresses. Perform the following steps on both the primary NIC and the secondary NIC.

3. Run the following command using the network adapter name identified in the previous section to check the InterfaceMetric column.
   

   PS > Get-NetIPInterface -AddressFamily IPv4 | select InterfaceAlias, AutomaticMetric, InterfaceMetric
   

4. Use the appropriate Interface Metric values (1 for primary, 2 for secondary) and run the following command.
   

   PS > Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias <primary_network_adapter_name> -InterfaceMetric 1
   PS > Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias <secondary_network_adapter_name> -InterfaceMetric 2
