Configuring owner node response status

You can configure the ownerDownResponse option on a node which has a spotted SNIP address. By default, the option is enabled. It allows the spotted IP address to respond to PING or ARP requests (coming from the upstream router) when the node is inactive. If you disable the option, the IP address cannot respond to the router requests when the owner node is inactive.

To know how this feature is used for monitoring static routes in ECMP deployment, seeUsing Equal Cost Multiple Path (ECMP)topic.
