The G1 IG uses an ICMP ping test in order to track the viability of individual WAN network interfaces.
This feature is referenced as the Health Monitor. The Health Monitor has several configuration values
associated with the capability:
•
Health Monitor Frequency - how often, in seconds, a ping is sent out the interface
•
Health Monitor ICMP Host - defines the address or location on the network that is pinged, can
be an IP address, a fully qualified domain name, the gateway address learned via DHCP, or the
DNS server learned via DHCP
•
Health Monitor ICMP Timeout – how long, in seconds, before a ping is declared lost
•
Attempts Before WAN Failover – the number of consecutive lost pings that are required before
a viable interface is redefined as failed
•
Attempts Before WAN Recovery – the number of consecutive successful pings that are required
before a failed interface is redefined as viable

Advanced Tab
The Advanced tab holds the configuration pages for modifying routes, host names, firewall rules,
running services, VLAN, DHCP, configuration images, firmware images, logging, and user management.
These pages are provided for use by system administrators, advanced users, and network architects.
3.3.1
Routes Page
The Routes page allows users to create static routes and also shows a listing of configured routes as well
as the current active route table. Configuring a static route requires a traffic destination network
address and subnet mask, a gateway through which the matched traffic will be sent, a metric or route
priority value, and the interface on which the route is applied. Previously configured static routes can
be deleted by clicking the word “Delete” next to the route being deleted.
