Fallback Interface Options
In addition to selecting the primary physical interface to Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless
(802.11, if option was purchased), the M6 and Astra-EX can be configured to fallback to
one of a variety of alternative network configurations in case of failures on the primary.
Each physical interface can be configured to fallback to the other physical interface or to a
different, static configuration on the same physical interface. See
Figure 11
for a flowchart
showing the various fallback behaviors. See Network Settings: All Interfaces and the
following Network Settings tables for more details on the settings.
Fallback settings are configured using the
Web Interface

Settings
page, as show in
Figure 8
. To enable the use of fallback select:
 
Use Fallback Interface
= Yes
Once fallback is enabled the fallback interface can be selected using:
 
Fallback Network interface
= Wired | Wireless
Fallback to the Same Physical Interface
If the
Fallback Network interface
selected is the same as the Interface being configured,
for example
 
Network Settings: Ethernet Interface
–
Fallback Network interface
= Wired is selected
Then the Fallback IP Address, Fallback Netmask and Fallback Gateway must be
configured and when a fallback occurs those static settings will be used.
Fallback to the Other Physical Interface
If the
Fallback Network interface
selected is different than the Interface being configured,
for example
 
Network Settings: Ethernet Interface
–
Fallback Network interface
= Wireless is selected
Then the Fallback IP Address, Fallback Netmask and Fallback Gateway are not used.
Instead, if a fallback occurs the physical interface will switch to using the other interface
as if it were primary.
