Enabling periodic gateway probe
You can configure the MFF device to detect gateways periodically for the change of MAC addresses
by sending forged ARP packets. The ARP packets use 0.0.0.0 as the sender IP address and bridge
MAC address as the source MAC address.
The interval for sending gateway probes is 30 seconds.
This feature is supported by MFF manual mode and MFF automatic mode.
To enable periodic gateway probe:
