Using Prestige traffic redirect

•
What is Traffic Redirect ?
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet
through its normal gateway. Thus this allows your backup gateway to work as an auxiliary backup for the WAN
connection. Once the WAN connection is down, the Prestige forwards the outgoing traffic through the backup
gateway configured in the traffic redirect settings.
•
How to set up the backup gateway?
Set up the backup gateway device on the Prestige＇s LAN or WAN. If you want to install the backup gateway
on the WAN, make sure the Prestige is using a static (fixed) IP address. The following figure shows an example.
If you are not given a static WAN IP address, set the backup gateway on the LAN.
Traffic Redirect on the WAN
If the Prestige is using a dynamic WAN IP address, connect the backup gateway on the LAN. The following
figure shows an example.
