Route Failover
The Switch supports
Route Failover for static routes. You can set up more than one link with the same destination
address in the NETWORKING > Static Routing > IPv4 Static Route screen. The Switch sends ping requests to the link’s
next hop to determine if a route link has a reachable next hop. The Switch will check if the links have a reachable
next hop, then sort these links by their metrics (the number of hops to the final destination). The link with the lowest
metric will be the primary link. The link with the next lowest metric will be the secondary link.
If
Route Failover is enabled, when a primary route link is down, the Switch will use the secondary link. The secondary
link will be set to down when the primary link is valid again. There will only be one active link at a time.
Active Enable the switch button to enable Route Failover on the Switch.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
