Title: What does exactly happen when 'Check if these hosts are reachable' is enabled? Post by: jaaptr on Thursday 05 March 2015, 01:35:07 am Hi,
I can't find information about what exactly happens if you enable the 'Check if these hosts are reachable' option in the interface configuration. The documentation of version 3.0 describes it as follows: Quote Tick this option to enter a list of IP or hostnames that will be ping-ed when the uplink fails, to check whether it has reconnected In my opinion this is this partially true. The IP addresses will be ping-ed to check whether the uplink is up again, but it will also be used to check if the uplink is still working. As far I know, the configured IPs or hostnames will be continuously ping-ed in order to check if the uplink is function well. What's not clear to me is: - What's the interval for the performed check? - When is the uplink considered dead? If all the configured IPs are not reachable or when one of the configured IPs is not reachable? - After how many missed pings is the uplink considerd dead? Is this after only one missed ping of multiple? Is it possible to configure it somewhere (using a config file somewhere)? I hope someone can give me a proper explanation about how this feature in Endian works. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jaap |
