During recovery, the following reasons may appear:
Recovery of Layer 1
Layer 2 Override
Layer 2 Recovery
•
Time Since Detection is a display-only field that is only visible if backup or recovery is in progress. It
displays the elapsed time since detection of either WAN line failure or re-establishment of the connection.
•
Switchover Time displays how high the Time Since Detection will count before the interface switches,
either from Primary to Backup or from Backup to Primary.
This field is only visible if Backup or Recovery is set to Automatic.
When the current interface is Primary and a backup condition exists Switchover Time will display one of
two values:
• If the last backup event was on layer 2 and Auto-Recovery on loss of Layer 2 is set to YES, it will display
the Layer 2 Failure Timer value.
• If this is the first backup event, or the last backup event was on layer 1, it will display the Requires
Failure of value.
When the current interface is the Backup interface and a recovery condition exists, it will display the
Requires Recovery of value.
The displayed value does not change. Rather it indicates how high the Time Since Detection must count
before the switchover occurs.
• The FORCE BACKUP/FORCE RECOVERY option is a selectable option that, depending on the current state
of backup, will force the switching of gateways. If you are currently in backup mode, the option will be
FORCE RECOVERY. If you are currently in primary mode, the option will be FORCE BACKUP. Selecting
either one and pressing Return will force the link to switch to the other mode.
