Backup Default Gateway
If your Motorola Netopia
®
equipment does not have an internal modem, or if you do not want to use the internal
modem for backup, the Motorola Netopia® Embedded Software Version 8.7.4 offers backup functionality to an
alternate gateway typically connected to a LAN por t.
A typical application would be to have a LAN connection from your ENT Enterprise-Series Router to another
gateway that has, for example, an ISDN or analog modem connection to the Internet, and designating the
second gateway as the backup gateway. Should the primar y WAN connection fail, traffic would be automatically
redirected through your alternate gateway device to maintain Internet connectivity.
Two menus control the backup gateway feature:
•
the
Backup Configuration
screen in the
WAN Configuration
menu
Here, you enable the backup feature and set some parameters.
•
the
IP Setup
screen in the
System Configuration
menu
Here, you set the IP address of the alternate gateway device.
Backup Configuration screen
To enable the backup feature, from the Main Menu select

Advanced Connection Options
,
and then

The Backup Configuration screen appears.
