AUTO DETECT CONFIGURATION
Introduction to the
Auto Detect Function
The auto detect function uses ICMP request/reply packets to test the connectivity of a
network regularly.
The auto detect function is carried out through detecting groups. A detecting group
comprises of a group of the IP addresses to be detected. You can examine the
connectivity of a network by checking the results of detecting groups, which in turn
enables you to locate network problems in time and take proper measures.

Configuration Example
Network requirements
■ Create detecting group 10 on Switch A and add two IP addresses, 10.1.1.4 and

■ Specify to return reachable as the detecting result if one of the two IP addresses is
reachable, that is, specify the or keyword for the option command.
■ Set the detecting interval to 60 seconds; the maximum number of retries to 3, and
the timeout time to 3 seconds.
