18. Link Backup
Revision 1.14.3 185 RX1000/RX1100™
The Startup Delay field configures the length of time to wait for the main link to come up at the start
of day.
Note
If Startup Delay is too low, backup may be falsely triggered at start up.
The Ping Interval field configures how often pings are sent.
The Ping timeout field configures the duration before immediately retrying a ping.
The Ping retry count field configures the number of ping retries before construing a path failure.
Note
The maximum time to discover a path failure is the length of the Ping Interval and the product of
the Number of missed pings before fail over and the Ping timeout.
The Main path down timeout field specifies the number of seconds the main trunk must be down
before starting the backup trunk.
The Main path up timeout field specifies the number of seconds the main trunk must have returned
to service before stopping the backup trunk.
You may delete a link backup configuration through the Delete button.
Note
If you delete a link backup configuration that has failed over (or is failing over) to its backup trunk
the link daemon will stop attempting the link backup and restore the main trunk, even if the main
trunk is still down.
