Connecting Multiple Hosts
If more than one host is
configured, a
Host Mode
option
appears. Host Mode controls
how multiple hosts will be
accessed. For XPort Pro, the
Connect Mode supports up to
sixteen Hosts. Hosts may be
accessed sequentially or
simultaneously:
Sequential
– Sequential
host lists establish a
prioritized list of tunnels. The
host specified as Host 1 will
be attempted first. If that
fails, it will proceed to Host
2, 3, etc, in the order they
are specified. When a
connection drops, the cycle
starts again with Host 1 and
proceeds in order.
Establishing the host order
is accomplished with host
list promotion (see
Sequential is the default
Host Mode.
Simultaneous
– A tunnel
will connect to all hosts
accepting a connection.
Simultaneous connections
occur at the same time to all
listed hosts. The device can
support a maximum of 64
total aggregate connections.
