Table 218 Menu 6.3: Route Failover
FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
Period | Type the number of seconds for the ZyWALL to wait between checks to see if it |
| can connect to the WAN IP address (in the Check Point field of menu 6.1) or the |
| default gateway. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of |
| traffic. |
|
|
Timeout | Type the number of seconds for your ZyWALL to wait for a ping response from the |
| IP address in the Check Point field of menu 6.1 before it times out. The WAN |
| connection is considered "down" after the ZyWALL times out the number of times |
| specified in the Fail Tolerance field. Use a higher value in this field if your network |
| is busy or congested. |
|
|
Fail Tolerance | Type the number of times your ZyWALL may attempt and fail to connect to the |
| Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. |
|
|
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press ENTER to Confirm…" to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
