1.1 Introduction to Auto Detecting
Auto detect is a function that detects the connectivity of a network regularly using ICMP
request/rely packets.
Auto detect is carried out through detecting groups, which contain IP addresses of
interfaces to be detected. You can examine the connectivity of a network by checking
the results of detecting groups, which in turn enables you to locate network problems in
time and take proper measures.
