Primary Destination
(TCP Connection Test): The primary, or first, destination used to
establish a TCP connection. The Primary Destination uses the Primary TCP Port when
testing the connection to the Primary Destination. The destination must be a valid IPv4
address. If the destination is empty, no Primary Destination link test will be attempted.
l
Secondary TCP Port
(TCP Connection Test): The destination TCP port to use to connect to
the Secondary Destination address.
l
Secondary Destination
(TCP Connection Test): The secondary, or second, destination used
establish a TCP connection. The Secondary Destination uses the Secondary TCP Port when
testing the connection to the Secondary Destination. The destination must be a valid IPv4
address. If the destination is empty, no Secondary Destination link test will be attempted.
l
Connection Timeout
(TCP Connection Test): The time in seconds to wait for a TCP
connection to be established or rejected by the destination host.
The following four Link Test options are used if the Ping or TCP Connection Link Test is selected.
n
Repeat the test every: N seconds
: The time interval (N) in seconds between the end of a
successful link test and the start of the next link test for the network interface. This interval
occurs only after a successful test.
Shorter intervals verify the link more often, but they also increase the packet traffic over the
network interface during the text. Consider the frequency of tests carefully for network
connections such as Mobile (cellular) connections, which may be expensive, depending on the
service plan in effect with your mobile service provider.
n
On test failure, retry every: N seconds
: The time interval (N) in seconds between the end of
a failed link test and the start of the next link test for the network interface. This interval
occurs after a failed test and continues until the “Not Responding” (consecutive failures)
threshold has been reached.
A possible strategy is to configure a shorter Retry interval than the Success interval, to more
quickly test the network connection to determine whether it is truly not working or there was
just a transient test failure. Determining the validity of the link helps failover determine
whether it is necessary to reconfigure the default gateway.
n
Report
Not Responding
after: N consecutive failures
: The threshold (N) in consecutive link
test failures at which time the network interface is reported to failover as “Not Responding”.
Upon receiving such a report, failover may determine that the default gateway must be
reconfigured. The count of consecutive failures is reset to zero when a successful link test
completes, or when the network interface is reconfigured or its connection is restarted (such
as a mobile PPP connection).
n
When
Not Responding
, retry every: N seconds
: The time interval (N) in seconds between the
end of a failed link test and the start of the next link test for the network interface. This
interval occurs after a failed test, but
only after
the “Not Responding” (consecutive failures)
threshold has been reached.
