Note: Because a failover port is not activated until after a failover has
actually occurred, Raritan recommends that you not monitor the port
or monitor it only after a failover occurs.
When this option is enabled, the following two fields are used:
Ping Interval (seconds) - Ping interval determines how often the
KX II checks the status of the network path to the designated
gateway. The default ping interval is 30 seconds.
Timeout (seconds) - Timeout determines how long a designated
gateway remains unreachable via the network connection before
a fail over occurs.
Note: The ping interval and timeout can be configured to best meet
the local network conditions. The timeout should be set to allow for at
least two or more ping requests to be transmitted and responses
returned. For example, if a high rate of failover is observed due to
high network utilization, the timeout should be extended to 3 or 4
times the ping interval.
