configuration Finally configure the priorities of the backup routes. The eth1 wired con-
nection has the highest priority in this situation. In case of failure, the second priority has WiFi wlan0 net-
work interface, and then the mobile connection – usb0 network interface. See fig. for corresponding set-
tings of the
Backup Routes
item. System of backup routes has to be activated by checking the
Enable
backup routes switching
item. Then enable backup routes switching at every backup route used and set
up the priorities. Click the
Apply
button to confirm the changes. For detailed configuration see chapter 4.7.
Backed up access to the Internet – Backup Routes configuration
The router configured this way now serves to computers in LAN for backed up access to the Internet.
You can verify the configured network interfaces in the
Status
section in the
Network
item. There you
should see active network interfaces eth0 (connection to LAN), eth1 (wired connection to the Internet),
wlan0 (WiFi connection to the Internet) and usb0 (mobile connection to the Internet). IP adresses and
other data are included. At the bottom you can see the
Route Table
and corresponding changes of it
when e.g. wired connection fails or cable disconnected (default route changes to wlan0). And the same –
if WiFi is not available, the mobile connection will be used.
Backup routes are working even if not activated in the
Backup Routes
item, but with implicit priorities of
network interfaces set as factory default. These priorities are different from the ones desired in this situa-
tion, see chapter 4.7.
