6. In the Echo Node IP Address box type the IP address of the echo node.
7. Click the Echo Node Probe Interval list and select the interval at which packets are transferred
to the echo node. The default setting is 3 seconds.
8. (Optional) Type the MAC address of the echo node in the Echo Node MAC Address box.
Providing an echo node MAC address allows the echo node packets to be unicast to the echo
node. If no echo node MAC address is provided, the echo node packets are broadcast.
9. In the Echo Node Probe Timeout box, select the maximum time to wait for a response from
the echo node before considering the team member failed. The default setting is 3 seconds.
The timeout value must be less than or equal to the probe interval. If a larger value is entered
for the timeout, it is automatically set to the probe interval when you click OK.
10. If Community Address ARP is the echo node response mechanism, type the IP address to
be used in the Community Probe IP Address box. This must be a valid and unique IP address
on the same network as the team. All servers on the same network using this mechanism
can have the same Community Probe IP address. This box is not used for Directed ARP
probes.
11. Select the Use Default checkbox to use the default setting of 00-01-FA-FE-FE-FE or type the
MAC address in the Community Probe MAC Address box.
