DESCRIPTION
Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic
redirect setup. The default is No.
Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.
The ZyWALL automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the ZyWALL's
Internet connection terminates.
This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyWALL uses.
Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route's priority among the ZyWALL's
routes (see Section 7.2 on page 130
the number, the higher priority the route has.
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's
DNS server address) to test your ZyWALL's WAN accessibility.
The ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel.
Enter the number of times your ZyWALL 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.
Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks. Five to
60 is usually a good number.
Enter the number of seconds the ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL times out the
number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field.
