Line Backup 7-15

Use this setting with caution. Setting it to Yes may induce alternating switching between Backup and Recovery Mode. This field will determine the recovery behavior of a Manual backup and Ping failure backup. These two failures are treated as Layer 2 failures.

■If you enable Auto-Recovery on loss of Layer 2, the Layer 2 Failure Timer (seconds) field becomes vis- ible, and you can specify how long the Auto-Recovery should wait before attempting to recover connec- tivity through your primary connection. This can prevent alternating switching between Backup and Recovery Mode.
