11.2.2 Hardware Watchdog Management
Submenu level: /system watchdog
Description
This menu allows to configure system to reboot on kernel panic, when an IP address does not respond,
or in case the system has locked up. Software watchdog timer is used to provide the last option, so in
very rare cases (caused by hardware malfunction) it can lock up by itself. There is a hardware watchdog
device available in AT-WR454x hardware, which can reboot the system in any case.
Property Description
auto-send-supout (yes | no; default: no) - after the support output file is automatically generated, it can
be sent by email
automatic-supout (yes | no; default: yes) - when software failure happens, a file named "autosupout.rif"
is generated automatically. The previous "autosupout.rif" file is renamed to "autosupout.old.rif"
no-ping-delay (time; default: 5m) - specifies how long after reboot not to test and ping watch-address.
The default setting means that if watch-address is set and is not reachable, the router will reboot about
every 6 minutes.
send-email-from (text; default: "") - e-mail address to send the support output file from. If not set, the
value set in /tool e-mail is used
send-email-to (text; default: "") - e-mail address to send the support output file to
send-smtp-server (text; default: "") - SMTP server address to send the support output file through. If
not set, the value set in /tool e-mail is used
watch-address (IP address; default: none) - if set, the system will reboot in case 6 sequental pings to the
given IP address (sent once per 10 seconds) will fail
none - disable this option
watchdog-timer (yes | no; default: no) - whether to reboot if system is unresponsive for a minute
