Configuring WAN Probe Settings
The SonicWALL sends probes to a target IP address of an “always available” target upstream device on
the network, such as an ISP side router, to monitor connectivity.
To configure WAN Probe Settings:
1.
Select Ping (ICMP) or TCP from the Probe Target menu.
2.
Enter the IP address of the target device in the IP Address field.
3.
If you have another target device, enter the IP address in the Optional Probe Target field and select
AND or OR from the menu.
4.
If necessary, configure the Secondary WAN Probe Settings in the same manner as the Primary
WAN Probe Settings.
5.
Click OK.
Note:
If the Probe Target is unable to contact the target device, the interface is deactivated and traffic is no
longer sent to the primary WAN.
