Configure parameters that determine when the Prestige will forward WAN traffic to the backup gateway
using Menu 2.1 — Traffic Redirect Setup.
15-2
Table 15-1 Menu 2 WAN Backup Setup
Configure this field to test your Prestige's WAN accessibility. Type the IP address of
a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server address).
When using a WAN backup connection, the Prestige periodically pings the
addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup connection (if
configured) if there is no response.
Type the number of times (2 recommended) that your Prestige may ping the IP
addresses configured in the Check WAN IP Address field without getting a
response before switching to a WAN backup connection (or a different WAN backup
connection).
When the Prestige is using a lower priority connection (usually a WAN backup
connection), it periodically checks to whether or not it can use a higher priority
connection.
Type the number of seconds (30 recommended) for the Prestige to wait between
checks. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of traffic.
Type the number of seconds for an ICMP session to wait for the ICMP response.
Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes or No.
Select Yes and press [ENTER] to configure Menu 2.1 Traffic Redirect Setup.
Select No (default) if you do not want to configure this feature.
