Using Traffic Redirect Feature

What is Traffic Redirect?

Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when ZyXEL Device cannot connect to the Internet through it's normal gateway. Thus make your backup gateway as an auxiliary backup of your WAN connection. Once ZyXEL Device detects it's WAN connectivity is broken, ZyXEL Device will try to forward outgoing traffic to backup gateway that users specify in traffic redirect configuration menu.

How to deploy backup gateway?

You can deploy the backup gateway on the WAN or LAN of ZyXEL Device. However, if you would like to deploy the backup gateway on the WAN of ZyXEL Device, please make sure that your ZyXEL Device has a static WAN IP address at first. Otherwise, we recommend you to deploy the backup gateway on the LAN of ZyXEL Device.

Traffic Redirect on WAN port

When the ZyXEL Device has a dynamic IP address on it's WAN port, it may be easier to connect backup gateway to the LAN of the ZyXEL Device.
