The Router will ping both addresses simultaneously at five-second inter vals, recording the ping responses
from each host. The Router will proceed into backup mode only if neither of the configured remote hosts
responds.
While the Router is in backup mode, it will continue to ping both hosts via the primar y inter face. If either
host responds to a ping and
