Table 9-6 Traffic Redirect Setup

FIELD	DESCRIPTION	EXAMPLE
Metric	Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the	15
	Prestige’s routes (see Route Priority and Metric on page 9-11) The	(default)
	smaller the number, the higher priority the route has.
Check WAN	Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your	0.0.0.0
IP Address	ISP’s DNS server address) to test your Prestige’s WAN accessibility.
	The Prestige 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 Prestige to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or
	PPTP tunnel.
Fail Tolerance	Enter the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect	2
	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.	5
	Five to 60 is usually a good number.
Timeout (sec)	Enter the number of seconds the Prestige waits for a ping response from
	the IP Address in the Check WAN IP Address field before it times out.	3
	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 Prestige 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 or [ESC] to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
