ZyWALL Series Internet Security Gateway

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Select this check box to have the ZyWALL use traffic redirect if the normal WAN

connection goes down.

Type 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

This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyWALL 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".

Configuration of this field is optional. If you do not enter an IP address here, the ZyWALL

will use the default gateway IP address. Configure this field to test your ZyWALL'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 ZyWALL to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or PPTP tunnel.
