Figure 5.8 Configuration of primary and secondary Internet connection

Notes:

1.Connection failover is enabled only if at least one probe host is specified (WinRoute is not able to detect fails of the primary connection unless at least one probe host is defined).

2.Probe hosts must be represented by computers or network devices which are permanently running (servers, routers, etc.). Workstations which are running only a few hours per day are irrelevant as probe hosts.

3.Probe hosts must not block ICMP Echo Requests (PING) since such requests are used to test availability of these hosts — otherwise the hosts will be always considered as unavailable. This is one of the cases where the primary default gateway cannot be used as the testing computer.
