Timeout Type the number of seconds (3 recommended) for your ZyXEL Device to wait for a

ping response from one of the IP addresses in the Check WAN IP Address field

before timing out the request. The WAN connection is considered "down" after the

ZyXEL Device times out the number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field.

Use a higher value in this field if your network is busy or congested.

Traffic Redirect Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot

connect to the Internet.

Active Traffic

Redirect

Select this check box to have the ZyXEL Device use traffic redirect if the normal

WAN connection goes down.

Note: If you activate traffic redirect, you must configure at least one

Check WAN IP Address.

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".

Backup Gateway Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The ZyXEL

Device automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the ZyXEL Device's

Internet connection terminates.

Apply Click Apply to save the changes.

Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
