WAN Backup

The CON/AUX port on the Prestige can be used in reserve, as a traditional dial-up connection should the
WAN port connection fail. To set up the auxiliary port (AUX) for the Prestige for use in the event that the
regular WAN connection is dropped, first make sure you have set up the switch and port connections.

Traffic Redirect

Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet. An
example is shown in the figure below.
WAN Setup
Table 8-1 WAN Setup
In addition to the Prestige's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE pass through
to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to
connect to the ISP via the Prestige. Each host can have a separate account and a
public WAN IP address.
PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for application where NAT is not
appropriate.
Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use
PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP.
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
Refer to the Subnetting appendix on how to calculate a subnet mask If you are
implementing subnetting.
You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) when you select ENET
ENCAP in the Encapsulation field
