address specified in Ping host. You can also optionally change the number of bytes in
the Ping payload size.
n DNS test: Tests connectivity by sending a DNS query to the specified DNS server.
n HTTP test: Tests connectivity by sending an HTTP or HTTPS GET request to the URL
specified in Web servers. The URL should take the format of http[s]://hostname/
[path].
n Test DNS servers configured for this interface: Tests connectivity by sending a DNS
query to the DNS servers configured for this interface.
n Test the interface status: The interface is considered to be down based on:
l Down time: The amount of time that the interface can be down before this test is
considered to have failed.
Allowed values are any number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and take
the format number{w|d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set Down time to ten minutes, enter 10m or 600s.
The default is 60 seconds.
l Initial connection time: The amount of time to wait for an initial connection to the

considered to have failed.
Note If both the Restart interface and Reboot device parameters are enabled, the
Reboot device parameter takes precedence.
