Failover Probe
Cycle Set the time duration for the Failover Probe Cycle to
determine when the router will switch to the backup connection
(backup port) once the main connection (main port) fails.
Failback Probe
Cycle Set the time duration for the Failback Probe Cycle to
determine when the router will switch back to the main
connection (main port) from the backup connection (backup
port) once the main connection is communicating again.
Detect Rule Select the detection rules for the failover of the main interface.
• Rule 1. ADSL Down
• Rule 2. Ping Fail
¾ No Ping: It will not send any pin
g
packet to determine the connection. It
means to disable the ping fail detection.
¾ Ping Gateway: It will send pin
g
packet
to
g
ateway and wait response from
gateway in every “Probe Cycle”.
¾ Ping Host: It will send ping packet to
specific host and wait response in every
“Probe Cycle”. The host must be an IP
address.
If 3G is set for main port, then there can be no option for
failover/failback.
The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to chan
g
e to the
backup port is determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by
Connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be
12 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails).
