IP addresses for these sites, and remember that
pingable addresses might change frequently.
5 In the Polling Interval field, type the polling interval in
seconds to determine a failure. This value determines
the amount of time between ping sessions to test the
servers listed in the previous step. The default is 30
seconds.
6 In the Type Polling Timeout field, type the polling
timeout in seconds to determine a failure. The default
is 5 seconds. If none of the listed servers respond to a
ping request within the specified interval, the
connection is considered failed, and a failover occurs.
7 In the last field on this dialog, type the number of
minutes you want to elapse between successive
failovers. The default is 10 minutes.
Since each failover requires a system restart, processing is
interrupted for a brief period during failover. If both your
Primary and Backup WAN connections are subject to frequent
failure, this can lead to a lot of processing interruptions. This
setting allows you to minimize downtime for the Firebox, with the
tradeoff that the WAN or internet might not be available for
longer periods of time.
