Retry Times:
The number of retries per detection period.
For a normal Internet connection and a faulty Internet connection, the detection
mechanisms are different.
For a faulty normal Internet connection, the detection mechanism is as follows: The
Device periodically sends a detection packet at the specified time interval to the target
IP address. Once no response packet received during a detection period, the Device
will consider that the connection is faulty and shield it immediately. For example, by
default, if the Device has sent three detection packets but not received any response
packet during a detection period, it will consider that the connection is faulty.
For a normal Internet connection, the detection mechanism is as follows: Similarly, the
Device also periodically sends a detection packet at the specified time interval to the
target IP address. Once more than half of the response packets received during a
detection period, the Device will consider that the connection is back to normal and
enable it immediately. For example, by default, if the Device has sent three detection
packets and received two packets during a detection period, it will consider that the
connection is back to normal.
Note:
If you don
’t want to monitor an Internet connection, please set the value of
Detection Interval
as 0.
4.2.2 Global Settings
The Device provides two connection groups: primary connection group and backup
connection group. An Internet connection belonging to the primary connection group
is a primary connection, while an Internet connections belonging to the backup
connection group is a backup connection. By default, all the Internet connections are
primary connections. It allows you to divide one or more connections into the backup
connection group.
The Device provides two load balancing modes:
Full Load Balancing
and
Partial
Load Balancing
.
If you choose to use
Full Load Balancing
, all the Internet connections are used as
primary connections. The operation principle is as follows:
1) If all the Internet connections are normal, the LAN users will use these
connections to access the Internet.
2) If an Internet connection is faulty, the Device will shield it immediately, and the
traffic through the faulty connection will be distributed to other normal connections
automatically.
