Windows agent for a specific IP address

How do I point Site24x7 Windows server monitoring agent through a specific IP address?

Let us assume a Windows server has multiple IP addresses and requires Site24x7 to push/receive communication through a specific IP address (of interface) only. Then, using route commands, the user can configure that specific interface to communicate to our domains. Know the domains to be whitelisted to allow access in my firewall for the server monitoring agent.

Please follow the steps below to add an entry in the route table:
  1. Open cmd as administrator
  2. Type route print
  3. Under IPv4 Route Table, go to Active Routes . This table shows the interface gateway IP for each interface user. Copy the interface gateway IP corresponding to the interface the user would like to use to communicate to our agent

  4. User has to put three entries in routing table to perform the specific interface communication
    route add 74.201.154.189 mask 255.255.255.255 <copied interface gateway IP> 
    route add 74.201.155.109 mask 255.255.255.255 <copied interface gateway IP> 
    route add 74.201.154.135 mask 255.255.255.255 <copied interface gateway IP>

  5. The user can now check if agent communication is performed through the specified interface
