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.
