Monitor 

If the logical IP address is not configured as an alias on one of the working interfaces under a corresponding MultiNICB resource, monitor returns offline. If the current interface fails, the agent fails over the logical IP address. It fails over the logical IP address to the next available working interface that is within the MultiNICB resource on the same node. If no working interfaces are available then monitor returns offline.
