Ping Watchdog
Ping Watchdog
sets the airFiber AF-5 to continuously ping
a user-defined IP address (it can be the Internet gateway,
for example). If it is unable to ping under the user-defined
constraints, then the airFiber AF-5 will automatically
reboot. This option creates a kind of “fail-proof”
mechanism.
Ping Watchdog
is dedicated to continuous monitoring of
the specific connection to the remote host using the
Ping
tool. The
Ping
tool works by sending ICMP echo request
packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo
response replies. If the defined number of replies is not
received, the tool reboots the airFiber AF-5.
