Configuration Guide

Auto detect is a function for checking the connectivity of a network regularly by sending

ICMP Request/Reply packets. It works by checking a group of destination IP addresses

to see whether the hosts are reachable or unreachable. Based on the result, the router

can discover problems and take appropriate actions.

The result of auto detect can be used by other features to control whether the

configurations for the features can take effect. These features include:

Static routing

Virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP)

Interface backup

An auto detect group can be referenced simultaneously by multiple application

For a detailed description of static routing, refer to the "Routing Protocol" part of this

For a detailed description of VRRP, refer to the "Reliability" part of this manual.
