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
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.
The Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige’s Internet
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
Address
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your 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 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
