Configuration 4.5 Backup Routes
Item Description
Enable backup
routes switching The default route is selected according to the settings below. If dis-
abled (unchecked), the backup routes system operates in the back-
ward compatibility mode based on the default priorities of the network
interfaces (listed below).
Mode •
Single WAN – The default mode. Only one interface is used for
WAN communication at a time. Other interfaces are used for
WAN when the preferred interface fails, based on the priorities
set.
• Multiple WANs – Multiple interfaces can be used for WAN con-
nection. When WAN communication via multiple interfaces is
received, the same interface is used in reply, therefor; the traf-
fic will stay on the given interface. The set priorities are used
when transmitting data from the router or from the network be-
hind the router. The highest priority interface is used for these
transmissions.
