If the box Include public DNS servers is selected and no response is received
from all specified DNS servers, DNS lookups will also be issued to some public
DNS servers. A WAN connection will be treated as down only if there is also no
response received from the public DNS servers.
Connections will be considered up if DNS responses are received from any one
of the health check DNS servers, regardless of a positive or negative result.
By default, the first two DNS servers of the WAN connection are used as the Health Check
DNS Servers.
Health Check Method: SmartCheck
SmartCheck monitors the link status and is optimized for mobile networks with high traffic latency.
Other Health Check Settings
Timeout
This setting specifies the timeout, in seconds, for ping/DNS lookup requests.
Default Timeout is set to 5 second.
Health Check
Interval
This setting specifies the time interval, in seconds, between ping or DNS lookup
requests. Default Health Check Interval is 5 seconds.
Health Check
Retries
This setting specifies the number of consecutive ping/DNS lookup timeouts after
which Pepwave MAX is to treat the corresponding WAN connection as down.
Default Health Retries is set to 3.
For example, with the default Health Retries setting of 3, after consecutive 3
timeouts, the corresponding WAN connection will be treated as down.
Recovery Retries
This setting specifies the number of consecutive successful ping/DNS lookup
responses that must be received before Pepwave MAX treats a previously down
WAN connection to be up again.
By default, Recover Times is set to 3. For example, a WAN connection that is
treated as down will be considered to be up again upon receiving 3 consecutive
successful ping/DNS lookup responses.
Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure
In case the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and checks failed, the MAX will automatically perform DNS
lookups on some public DNS servers. If the tests are success, it means the WAN may not be down but rather the
target DNS server became malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on the Main page.
