Overview

This guide explains how to configure ping detection using a config.xml file, which can be deployed via:
  1. RCMS platform
  2. Web UI
  3. USB drive

Complete Ping Detection Configuration Block

<ping>
    <enable>true</enable>
    <primary_server>8.8.8.8</primary_server>
    <secondary_server>114.114.114.114</secondary_server>
    <ipv6_primary_server>2001:4860:4860::8888</ipv6_primary_server>
    <ipv6_secondary_server>2400:3200::1</ipv6_secondary_server>
    <interval>300</interval>
    <retry_interval>5</retry_interval>
    <timeout>3</timeout>
    <timeout_unit>second</timeout_unit>
    <tries>3</tries>
</ping>

Parameter Explanation

  1. enable: Activates ping detection feature
  2. primary_server: Main IPv4 server to ping
  3. secondary_server: Backup IPv4 server to ping
  4. ipv6_primary_server: Main IPv6 server to ping
  5. ipv6_secondary_server: Backup IPv6 server to ping
  6. interval: Time between ping checks (300 seconds = 5 minutes)
  7. retry_interval: Time between retry attempts (5 seconds)
  8. timeout: How long to wait for response (3 seconds)
  9. tries: Number of attempts before marking as failed (3 tries)

Deployment Methods

1. Via RCMS Platform

  1. Access RCMS platform
  2. Navigate to device/group
  3. Upload configuration file
  4. Apply configuration

2. Via Web UI

  1. Access device web interface
  2. Go to System > Profile
  3. Upload config.xml
  4. Import

3. Via USB

  1. Place config.xml in "router" folder on USB
  2. Insert USB and power cycle device
  3. Wait for completion

Important Notes

  1. Modify server addresses according to your network
  2. Keep reasonable intervals to avoid excessive network traffic
  3. Consider timeout values based on network conditions
  4. Backup original configuration before changes
