Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

ICMP health checking  

You can verify that a real server is alive by configuring the ICMP health check for the real server group. The Layer 3 echo - echo reply health check is used for UDP services or when ICMP health checks are configured.

To configure the ICMP health check, choose ICMP from the health check selection list for the real server group. See Configuring a health check for a real server group.

To configure the number of retries required to declare a server up or down, see Modifying the health check interval and retries.
