P-660HWP-Dx User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Type the number of seconds (3 recommended) for your P-660HWP-Dx to wait for a
ping response from one of the IP addresses in the Check WAN IP Address field
before timing out the request. The WAN connection is considered "down" after the
P-660HWP-Dx times out the number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field.
Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.
Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the P-660HWP-Dx
cannot connect to the Internet.
Select this check box to have the P-660HWP-Dx 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 P-660HWP-Dx 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 P-
660HWP-Dx automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the P-660HWP-Dx's
Internet connection terminates.
