If the interface fails to connect, try again in s seconds
If an interface is requested to connect by this route (due to IP traffic being present) and it
fails to connect, the route will be marked as out of service but the router will continue to
attempt to connect at the interval specified by the value in this text box. If the interface
does connect, the router will clear the out of service status for the route.
Deactivate the interface after it successfully connects
When checked, this check box will cause the router to deactivate an interface once a
successful activation attempt has been made. This is used in conjunction with the above
retry parameter. If the above retry parameter is not set, this checkbox is “greyed out”.
Do not allow this interface to be activated by this route for s seconds after the last
activation attempt
The value in this text box is the delay to wait before re-initiating a connection after it has
dropped whilst still required.
Only queue one packet whilst waiting for the interface to connect
When checked, this checkbox will cause the router to enqueue only one packet while waiting
for the interface to connect. When unchecked, the router will enqueue two packets.
When this route becomes available, deactivate the following interfaces x,y x,y
The interfaces specified by the values in these two pairs of drop-down list and text boxes
will be deactivated when this route becomes available again after being out of service. This
feature is typically used to deactivate backup interfaces when the primary interface
becomes available after being out of service. Select the required interface from the drop-
down list and enter the interface instance number into the text box as usual.
When this route becomes unavailable, remove the “Out of Service” state on x,y
This drop-down list and text box are used to specify the interface (available options are
“None”, “PPP”, “Ethernet” and “Tunnel”) and instance that should be taken out of the “Out
of Service” state when the interface that this route is configured to use is deactivated.
Keep this route in service for s seconds after OOS state is cleared
When this checkbox is checked, the following text box is enabled (i.e. it is no longer “greyed
out”), allowing a value to be entered. The value specifies the period that the interface
specified above will remain in service even though it is actually unable to pass traffic
immediately. This is behaviour useful in situations where a PPP interface is activating and
traffic should not try the next interface until this one has been allowed a certain amount of
time to come up. When this timer expires, if the interface is unable to pass traffic, it will be
marked Out of Service and the next interface will be tried.
Assign this route to recovery group n
The value in this text box is used to assign the route to a “recovery group”. This means that
if all the routes in a particular recovery group go out of service, the out of service status is
cleared for all routes in that group. If one route in a group comes back into service, all
routes with a lower priority (metric) also have their out of service status cleared.
