FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Active

Use this field to turn the traffic redirect feature on (Yes) or off (No).

Configuration

Backup

Gateway IP

Address

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.

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".

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm…” to

save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
