Parameter
and: Specifies that the relationship between the addresses to be probed is logical AND.
or: Specifies that the relationship between the addresses to be probed is logical OR.
Description
Use the option command to specify the logical relationship between the addresses to
be probed in the detect group.
Use the undo option command to remove the configured logical relationship.
The router probes the IP addresses in a detect group in the ascending order of their
assigned sequence numbers and determines whether the detect group is reachable as
follows:
z When the relationship between the IP addresses is logical AND, the detect group
is regarded reachable only if all IP addresses can be pinged. If the router fails to
ping an IP address, it stops probing and considers that the detect group is
unreachable.
z When the relationship between the IP addresses is logical OR, the detect group is
regarded reachable if one of the IP addresses can be pinged. When an IP address
is pinged, the router stops probing and considers that the detect group is
reachable.
By default, the relationship between the addresses in a detect group is logical AND.
Example
# Specify the relationship between the addresses in detect group 10 as or.
