4.5 Backup Routes
Network interfaces belonging to individual backup routes are also checked before use for
flags which indicate the state of the interface. (E.g. RUNNING on the
Network Status
page.)
This prevents, for example, the disconnection of an Ethernet cable. You can fill-in one or both
Ping IP Addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) – based on IP protocol used on particular network interface
and WAN connection settings. IPv4 and IPv6 are dual stack implemented in the router. Any
changes made to settings will be applied after pressing the
Apply
button.
4.5.1 Default Priorities for Backup Routes
If the
Enable backup routes switching
check box is unchecked, the backup routes system
will operate in the backward compatibility mode. The router selects the route based on the
default priorities of the enabled settings for each of the network interfaces, enabling appropriate
services that comply with these network interfaces. The following list contains the names of
backup routes and corresponding network interfaces in order of default priorities:
•
Mobile WAN (usbX)
•
PPPoE (ppp0)
•
Secondary LAN (eth1)
•
Primary LAN (eth0)
Example of default priorities:
Backup Routes
are disabled. The router selects the
Sec-
ondary LAN
as the default route only if you unmark the
Create connection to mobile network
check box on the
Mobile WAN
page, unmark the
Create PPPoE connection
check box on the
PPPoE
page. To select the
Primary LAN
, delete the IP address from the
Secondary LAN
page
and disable the
DHCP Client
for the
Secondary LAN
.
Note:
Consider there is a concept of variable WAN and LAN interfaces even if the
Backup
Routes
are not enabled. The situation may occur, that LAN intended interface becomes WAN
interface (because of specified or default priorities). Communication from WAN interface to
LAN interface can then be blocked depending on the
NAT
and
Firewall
Configuration.
