The Link Detection Group object allows you to group interfaces and associated Link Monitors together and track link verification failures within the group. A Link Detection Group (LDG) is configured with a unique name and a failover threshold. The LDG tracks the number of link verification failures that have occurred among the Link Monitors configured.
In addition to a Failover Threshold, a Link Detection Group can also be configured with values for the Verify Timer, Response Timer, Reattempt Timer and Retries. These values are used for each Link Monitor belonging to the group, unless that Link Monitor is configured with its own unique values for these fields.

Link detection failure alarms are raised only when Link Detection Group (LDG) is configured. |
