DESCRIPTION

Enable Link

Select this option to have the ZyWALL send all of each local computer’s traffic through

Sticking

one WAN interface for the number of seconds that you specify.

 

This is useful when a redirect server forwards a local user’s request for a file and

 

informs the file server that a particular WAN IP address is requesting the file. If the

 

user’s subsequent sessions came from a different WAN IP address, the file server

 

would deny the request. See Link Sticking on page 270 for an example.

 

This setting applies when you use load balancing and have multiple WAN interfaces

 

set to active mode.

 

 

Timeout

Specify for how long the ZyWALL is to send all of each local computer’s traffic through

 

one WAN interface.

 

 

Name

remove it before doing so.
