When the UTM9S or UTM25S is configured in auto-rollover mode, it uses the selected WAN failure detection method to detect the status of the primary link connection at regular intervals. Link failure is detected in one of the following ways:

DNS queries sent to a DNS server

Ping request sent to an IP address

None (no failure detection is performed)

From the primary interface, DNS queries or ping requests are sent to the specified IP address. If replies are not received after a specified number of retries, the primary interface is considered down, and a rollover to the backup interface occurs. When the primary interface comes back up, another rollover occurs from the backup interface back to the primary interface. The WAN failure detection method that you select applies only to the primary interface, that is, it monitors the primary link only.

Configure Auto-Rollover Mode

To configure auto-rollover mode:

1.Select Network Config > WAN Settings > WAN Mode. The WAN Mode screen displays:

Figure 330.

2.In the Load Balancing Settings section of the screen, configure the following settings:

a.Select the Primary WAN Mode radio button.

b.From the corresponding drop-down list on the right, select the DSL interface or a WAN interface to function as the primary WAN interface.
