monitor to determine which interfaces fail and to switch them accordingly (see Chap-
ter 3.4.4.3, "Failover Settings", on page 82).
For more detailed information on connection monitoring, see the following sections.
Connection Monitoring Overview
Navigate to "WAN > Connection Monitoring" to display the list of connection monitoring
profiles that are currently defined on the system in the item list bar.
In the expanded view, the left column of the table displays the "Name" of the connec-
tion monitoring profile. The buttons in the right column allow you to view and adjust the
settings for an existing connection monitoring profile, create a profile based on a copy
of an existing connection monitoring profile or delete a profile from the system.
For further information, see Chapter 3.2, "Icons and Buttons", on page 21.
Connection Monitoring Settings
Use the "Connection Monitoring" settings to configure profiles that allow you to monitor
the accessibility of URLs and IP addresses.
When an interface is set up as a failover interface in the WAN zone (see Chap-
ter 3.4.4.3, "Failover Settings", on page 82), the system automatically creates a con-
nection monitoring profile for this interface using default values. Navigate to "WAN >
Connection Monitoring" to customize connection monitoring profiles.
The "Connection Monitoring Profile" settings allow you to configure the following ele-
ments:
Field Description
"On" / "Off" A slider switch indicates whether the connection monitoring profile is active
( "On" ) or inactive ( "Off" ). By clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the
state of the profile. This option is enabled by default.
"Name" Enter a name for the profile. This name has to be unique and can consist of 3 to
15 characters (allowed are letters of the English alphabet, integers, dashes,
underscores and dots).
"Test Interval" Define (in seconds) how often the connection is to be tested.
"Response Timeout" Specify the timeout (in seconds) for the ping.
Important: The response timeout must be less than or equal to the test inter-
val. Otherwise, several tests are running simultaneously.
"Tolerated Error Rate" Define how many tests can fail before the connection profile is considered to be
CRITICAL.
"Description" Optional: Enter additional information regarding the profile.
"Network Interface" From the drop-down list, select the physical network interface to be used for the
test.
