Table 212 Menu 11.1.5: Traffic Redirect Setup
FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Active | Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic |
| redirect setup. The default is No. |
Configuration |
|
|
|
Backup Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. |
Address | The ZyWALL automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the ZyWALL's |
| Internet connection terminates. |
Metric | This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyWALL uses. |
| Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route's priority among the ZyWALL's |
| routes (see Section 7.2 on page 130 in Chapter 7 on page 130) The smaller |
| the number, the higher priority the route has. |
Check WAN IP | Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's |
Address | DNS server address) to test your ZyWALL's WAN accessibility. |
| The ZyWALL uses the default gateway IP address if you do not enter an IP |
| address here. |
| If you are using PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation, enter "0.0.0.0" to configure |
| the ZyWALL to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel. |
Fail Tolerance | Enter the number of times your ZyWALL may attempt and fail to connect to the |
| Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. Two to five is |
| usually a good number. |
Period(sec) | Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks. Five to |
| 60 is usually a good number. |
Timeout(sec) | Enter the number of seconds the ZyWALL waits for a ping response from the |
| IP Address in the Check WAN IP Address field before it times out. The |
| number in this field should be less than the number in the Period field. Three |
| to 50 is usually a good number. |
| The WAN connection is considered "down" after the ZyWALL times out the |
| number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field. |
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press ENTER to Confirm…" to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
