Configure WAN Tracking

Before you begin

Create a Network Policy with Router Settings.

About this task

Configure one or two WAN tracking destination IP addresses in a network policy so routers can check WAN availability by sending probe packets to these destination IPs.

Procedure

  1. Enter a different Primary IP Target or accept the default.
    The default primary IPv4 target is 8.8.8.8, which is the Google Public DNS, a free domain name system (DNS). This DNS is available from anywhere in the world.
  2. Enter an optional Secondary IP Target.
  3. Specify the Number of Retries before the router marks the link as unavailable.
  4. For the Measurement Interval, enter the number of seconds between retries.
  5. Select Reset to Default to return these settings to the factory defaults.

What to do next

Continue configuring the network policy.
