Default Route n parameters
Digi TransPort User Guide 364
Wait for s seconds after power up before allowing this route to activate the interface
The delay that the router should wait after power-up before packets matching this route will
initiate a connection of the interface configured in the route. It is typically used on W-WAN
routers that have ISDN backup in order to prevent unnecessary ISDN connections from being
made whilst a W-WAN connection is first being established.
If the interface is configured for “dial on demand”
Mark this route as “Out Of Service” if the interface fails to connect after n consecutive
attempts
Normally, if an interface is requested to connect by a route and fails to connect, the route
metric is set to 16 for the period of time specified by the Mark a static route as Out Of Service
for s seconds parameter on the Configuration > Network > IP Routing/Forwarding > IP
Routing page. If the value in this text box is non-zero, the route metric will not be set to 16
until the number of connection attempts specified by this parameter have been made.
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 enabled, the router deactivates 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 disabled.
Do not allow this interface to be activated by this route for s seconds after the last activation
attempt
The delay to wait before re-initiating a connection after it has dropped while still required.
