lished and the router switches back to it from the backup mode.
You can toggle Auto-Recovery on loss of Layer 2 to Yes or No (the default). This setting determines
whether the router should try to Auto-Recover when the backup is invoked because of a Layer 2 loss,
for example, a no valid Connection Profile. (Layer 1 is still available, and this is what recovery checks.)
Use this setting with caution. Setting it to Yes may induce alternate switching between Backup and
Recovery Mode. This field will determine the recovery behavior of a Manual backup and Ping failure
backup. These two failures are treated as Layer 2 failures.
Note: Backup and Recovery have resolutions of five seconds. This is how often the router evaluates the state
of the connections and makes decisions.
Data Link Encapsulation is set to Async PPP. This field is not editable.
