Connectivity Decision:
Enter the value for the times when probing failed to switch backup port.
Failover Probe Cycle:
Set the time duration for the Failover Probe Cycle to determine when the
router will switch to the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection (main port)
fails.
Failback Probe Cycle:
Set the time duration for the Failback Probe Cycle to determine when the
router will switch back to the main connection (main port) from the backup connection (backup port)
once the main connection communicates again.
Note:
The time values entered in Failover Probe Cycle and Failback Probe Cycle fields are set

each probe cycle and decided by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by Connection Decision value(e.g.
60 seconds are multiplied by 12 seconds and 5 consecutive fails).
Detect Rule (either one):
1. Physical Port Error
2. Ping Fail
•
No Ping:
It will not send any ping packet to determine the connection. It means to
