Table 78 Menu 11.6: 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 | Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. | |
Gateway IP | The Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige’s Internet | |
Address | ||
connection terminates. | ||
| ||
|
| |
Metric | Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the Prestige’s routes | |
| (see the Metric section in the WAN and Dial Backup Setup chapter) 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 DNS | |
Address | 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 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 Prestige 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 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
