If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Rack PDU and that is usually running. The Rack PDU uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the User’s Guide for more information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.
