DESCRIPTION
The interface can regularly ping the gateway you specified to make sure it is still
available. You specify how often the interface pings the gateway, how long to
wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive
failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The
ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway
acknowledges the ping.
Select this to enable the ping check.
