Label Description
Redirect
Active Select this check box to have the Prestige use traffic redirect if the normal WAN connection goes down.
If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure at least one Check WAN IP Address.
Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige 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".
Backup Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The Prestige automatically forwards
Gateway traffic to this IP address if the Prestige's Internet connection terminates.
Back Click Back to return to the previous screen.
Apply Click Apply to save the changes.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
You can also configure traffic redirect via web configuration. The configuration page is in WAN/WAN Backup.
