DESCRIPTION
The default WAN connection is "1' as your broadband connection via the WAN port
should always be your preferred method of accessing the WAN. The default priority
of the routes is WAN, Traffic Redirect and then Dial Backup (dial backup does not
apply to all ZyXEL device models):
You have two choices for an auxiliary connection in the event that your regular WAN
connection goes down. If Dial Backup is preferred to Traffic Redirect, then type
"14" in the Dial Backup Priority (metric) field (and leave the Traffic Redirect
Priority (metric) at the default of "15").
Select this check box to have the ZyXEL device use traffic redirect if the normal
WAN connection goes down.
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.
Configuration of this field is optional. If you do not enter an IP address here, the
ZyXEL device will use the default gateway IP address. Configure this field to test the
ZyXEL device's WAN accessibility. Type the IP address of a reliable nearby
computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server address). If you are using PPTP or
PPPoE Encapsulation, type "0.0.0.0" to configure the ZyXEL device to check the
PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel.
Type the number of times the ZyXEL device may attempt and fail to connect to the
Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway.
Type the number of seconds for the ZyXEL device to wait between checks to see if it
can connect to the WAN IP address (Check WAN IP Address field) or default
gateway. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of traffic.
