misses

Specifies the number of misses allowed before this entry is considered to be failing. The range is 1 to 255 pings.

Usage Guidelines

Adding an entry with the same IP address as an existing entry causes the new values to overwrite the existing entry's frequency and miss number.

Example

The following command enables ping tracking for the external gateway at 3.1.0.1, pinging every 3 seconds, and considering the gateway to be unreachable if no response is received to 5 consecutive pings:

configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 add track-ping 3.1.0.1 frequency 3 miss 5
