Field Description Example

Selection:
WAN Metric

Metric
Dial Backup
Metric
The BCM50a Integrated Router uses the connection
with the lowest metric value first.
The default WAN connection is 1 as your broadband
connection through the WAN port must always be
your preferred method of accessing the WAN.
The default priority of the routes is
WAN , Traffic
Redirect and then Dial Backup (dial backup does not
apply to all BCM50a Integrated Router models):
You have two choices for an auxiliary connection, in
the event that your regular WAN connection goes
down. If Dial Backup is preferred to Traffic Redirect ,
then type 14 in the Dial Backup Metric field (and
leave the Traffic Redirect Metric at the default of 15).
