UTO ETECT
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.
Table 591 Configure the auto detect function
Operation
Enter system view
Create a detecting group
and enter detecting group
view
Add an IP address to be
detected to the detecting
group
Specify how the detecting
result is generated
Set the detecting interval
Set the maximum number
of retries during a
detecting operation
Set the detecting timeout
time
Display the configuration
of a specified detecting
group or all detecting
groups
Network requirements
Create detecting group 10 on Switch A and add two IP addresses, 10.1.1.4 and
■
192.168.2.2, to it to test the reachability to the two IP address.
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.
