Health Check Settings
To ensure traffic is routed only to healthy WAN connections, the Pepwave AP can periodically
check the health of each WAN connection. The health check settings for each WAN connection
can be independently configured via Network > WAN > *Connection Name* > Health Check
Settings.
This setting specifies the health check method for the WAN connection. This value can
be configured as Disabled, PING, DNS Lookup, or HTTP. The default method is DNS
Lookup.
● Health Check Method: Disabled
When Disabled is chosen in the method field, the WAN connection will always be
considered as up. The connection will NOT be treated as down in the event of IP routing
errors.
● Health Check Method: PING
ICMP ping packets will be issued to test the connectivity with a configurable target IP
address or hostname. A WAN connection is considered as up if ping responses are
received from either one or both of the ping hosts.
PING Host: This setting specifies IP addresses or hostnames with which connectivity is
to be tested via ICMP ping.
If the Use first two DNS servers as Ping Hosts is checked, the target ping host will be
the first DNS server for the corresponding WAN connection. Reliable ping hosts with a
high uptime should be considered. By default, the first two DNS servers of the WAN
connection are used as the ping hosts.
● Health Check Method: DNS Lookup
DNS lookups will be issued to test connectivity with target DNS servers. The connection
