DESCRIPTION
Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot
connect to the Internet.
Select this check box to have the ZyXEL Device use traffic redirect if the normal
WAN connection goes down.
Note: If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure at least one
Check WAN IP Address.
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".
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.
