To clear the ping list of all addresses, enter:
-> system backup delete all all
NOTE:
If you clear the ping list of all addresses, pinging is not used to determine if the DSL
link is down. Instead, the state of the DSL physical layer is the only criterion used to
determine failure and restoration.
Ping Interval, Number of Samples, and Success Rate
After you enter an address in the ping list, the system list command lists the following
Dial Backup information:
By default, the router pings the addresses every 5 seconds until it has pinged each
address 6 times; it requires a minimum success rate of 50%. You may need to adjust
these default values to fit your situation; for example, if pings are failing, you may
want to lower the required success rate. To change these values, use these
commands:
-> system backup pinginterval <seconds> [<group>]
-> system backup pingsamples <seconds> [<group>]
-> system backup successrate <percentage>[<group>]
NOTE:
To disable a group of ping addresses, specify 0 for any of its three values -
pinginterval, pingsamples, or success rate.
The same ping interval, number of samples, and success rate apply to all addresses
assigned to a group. (Any address not assigned to a group is considered to belong to
group 0.) All groups are tested in parallel. As soon as any group fails its success rate
test, the DSL link is assumed to have failed and the switchover to the backup is
performed.
