Other Health Check Settings
Timeout
This setting specifies the timeout, in seconds, for ping/DNS lookup requests. Default
Timeout is set to
5
second.
Health Check
Interval
This setting specifies the time interval, in seconds, between ping or DNS lookup requests.
Default Health Check Interval is
5
seconds.
Health Check
Retries
This setting specifies the number of consecutive ping/DNS lookup timeouts after which the
Pepwave MAX is to treat the corresponding WAN connection as down. Default Health
Retries is set to
3
.
For example, with the default Health Retries setting of 3, after consecutive 3 timeouts, the
corresponding WAN connection will be treated as down.
Recovery Retries
This setting specifies the number of consecutive successful ping/DNS lookup responses
that must be received before the Pepwave MAX treats a previously down WAN connection
to be up again.
By default, Recover Times is set to
3
. For example, a WAN connection that is treated as
down will be considered to be up again upon receiving 3 consecutive successful ping/DNS
lookup responses.
Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure
In case the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and checks failed, the MAX will automatically perform DNS
lookups on some public DNS servers. If the tests are success, it means the WAN may not be down but rather the
target DNS server became malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on the Main page.
