There are multiple solutions.

One could to add interfaces as service and ping them.
Or poll it with SNMP and define interfaces that way. (Which is what I do.)
Or define 2 hosts.

Which interface one should use as host for a router dependents on the 
network layout. I sometimes poll inside interfaces through a tunnel to 
prevent leakage of information.
