Chapter 7 WAN Setup
Table 28 WAN Backup Setup (continued)
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Traffic Redirect | Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot |
| connect to the Internet. |
|
|
Active Traffic | Select this check box to have the ZyXEL Device use traffic redirect if the normal |
Redirect | WAN connection goes down. |
| Note: If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure at least one |
| Check WAN IP Address. |
|
|
Metric | This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyXEL Device uses. |
| The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best |
| route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses |
| hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly |
| connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater |
| than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost". |
|
|
Backup Gateway | Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The |
| ZyXEL Device automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the ZyXEL |
| Device's Internet connection terminates. |
