Connectivity Check The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make
sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how
long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive
failures are required before the ISG50 stops routing to the gateway. The ISG50
resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway passes the connectivity
check.
