PING-POLLING COMMANDS
FAIL
-COUNT
fail-count
Overview This command specifies the number of pings that must be unanswered, within the
total number of pings specified by the sample-size command, for the ping-polling
instance to consider the device unreachable.
If the number set by the sample-size command and the fail-count commands are
the same, then the unanswered pings must be consecutive. If the number set by
the sample-size command is greater than the number set by the fail-count
command, then a device that does not always reply to pings may be declared
unreachable.
The no variant of this command resets the fail count to the default.
Syntax
fail-count <1-100>
no fail-count
Default The default is 5.
