ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

Table 42 Traffic Redirect (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Fail Tolerance

Type how many WAN connection checks can fail (1 to 10) before the connection is

 

considered "down" (not connected). The ZyWALL still checks a "down" connection to

 

detect if it reconnects.

Period

The ZyWALL tests a WAN connection by periodically sending a ping to either the

 

default gateway or the address in the Check WAN IP Address field.

 

Type a number of seconds (5 to 300) to set the time interval between checks. Allow

 

more time if your destination IP address handles lots of traffic.

Timeout

Type the number of seconds (1 to 10) for your ZyWALL to wait for a response to the

 

ping before considering the check to have failed. This setting must be less than the

 

Period. Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.

Apply
