Menu 11.1.5: Traffic Redirect Setup
FIELD
DESCRIPTION
Active
Select this to set up a backup gateway in case the default gateway is not
available. (For example, this might happen if the Internet connection goes
down.) Clear this if you do not have a backup gateway.
Configuration
Backup Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the backup gateway. The ZyXEL Device automatically
uses this gateway if the default gateway is not available anymore.
Metric
This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyXEL Device uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing
uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly
connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower
the "cost". A backup gateway usually has a higher cost than the default
gateway so that the ZyXEL Device uses the default gateway as long as it is
available.
Check WAN IP
Address
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer the ZyXEL Device uses to
test whether or not the default gateway is available anymore. For example, use
one of your ISP’s DNS server addresses.
If you enter 0.0.0.0, the test fails every time.
Fail Tolerance
Enter the number of consecutive times the ZyXEL Device may attempt and fail
to find the reliable nearby computer at
Check WAN IP Address
before it starts
using the backup gateway. 2-5 are typical choices.
Period(sec)
Enter the number of seconds between attempts to find the reliable nearby
computer at
Check WAN IP Address
. 5-60 are typical choices.
Timeout(sec)
Enter the number of seconds the ZyXEL Device waits for a response from the
reliable nearby computer at
Check WAN IP Address
before the attempt is a
failure. 3-50 are typical choices, but this number should be less than the
Period
.
