Chapter 8: Device Management145Note: Because a failover port is not activated until after a failover hasactually occurred, Raritan recommends that you not monitor the portor monitor it only after a failover occurs.When this option is enabled, the following two fields are used: Ping Interval (seconds) - Ping interval determines how often theKX II checks the status of the network path to the designatedgateway. The default ping interval is 30 seconds. Timeout (seconds) - Timeout determines how long a designatedgateway remains unreachable via the network connection beforea fail over occurs.Note: The ping interval and timeout can be configured to best meetthe local network conditions. The timeout should be set to allow for atleast two or more ping requests to be transmitted and responsesreturned. For example, if a high rate of failover is observed due tohigh network utilization, the timeout should be extended to 3 or 4times the ping interval.4. Select the Bandwidth.5.
