Function Set various types of "ether" L3 monitoring intervals.
Available Model XG0224 / XG0448 / XG2600
Syntax ether <number> icmpwatch interval <interval> <timeout> [<retry>]
Options
<number>
•ether port number
Set a port number to use with a decimal value.
When setting multiple port numbers, separate them with commas (,).
When setting sequential numbers, separate them with hyphens (-). (Example: "1-8")
<interval>
•Transmission interval of normal ICMP ECHO packets
Specify the transmission interval of normal ICMP ECHO packets to be within the range
of 1 to 60 seconds (or 1 minute).
The unit shall be m (minute) or s (second).
<timeout>
•Monitoring timeout
Specify the monitoring timeout period as between 5 to 180 seconds (or 3 minutes). If
the time exceeds, the monitoring is considered as failed.
The unit should be in m (minute) or s (second).
<retry>
•Retransmission interval of ICMP ECHO packets
Specify the retransmission interval of ICMP ECHO packets between 1 to <timeout>-1
seconds if the normal ICMP ECHO packet transmission is not acknowledged.
The unit should be in m (minute) or s (second).
The default is 1s.
Use Mode Configuration mode (admin class)
Explanation Set the operation information for destination monitoring.
The destination is monitored in <interval> when the response of ICMP ECHO packet is
normally received.
If the response to ICMP ECHO packet is not received, the packet is resent by the <retry>.
If no response is returned within the time period specified in the <timeout>, an error is
detected assuming that any fault occurs and the Ethernet port specified in the <number>
goes offline.
Caution If ports go offline, release them with the "online" command.
Default It is assumed that the 10-second transmission interval during normal communication, the
5-second timeout for monitoring, and the 1-second retransmission interval have been
specified.
