Line Backup 7-7

Connection Profiles

The line backup feature allows you to configure a complete Connection Profile for the backup port, just as you do for your primary WAN connection. In this way profiles are associated with a particular interface. The profile should reflect the port it is associated with. It should have switched characteristics for the backup port.
