why MAX_FAILURE in log_archive_dest_x seems cannot be functionable (sorry)

Sorry for the previous mail, the database version is 9205, not 9204. Previous mail as below.

Hi, all:

My test env is oracle9204 on Solaris 8 for sparc.

I unplugged standby network and checked primary's alertlog, I found even I set MAX_FAILURE=3D2 REOPEN=3D10, primary still keep checking wheather it can post redo data to standby and this check time always last for 15 seconds (NET_TIMEOUT's value?).
But oracle online doc said, it should be check 2 times and will stopped until reset the error status in v$archive_dest_status view.

What's wrong with my test? or just the bug of Oracle.
