ZyWALL 2 and ZyWALL 2WE
Remote Node Setup 10-5
Metric
The metric sets the priority for the ZyWALL’s routes to the Internet. If the two routes have the same metric,
the ZyWALL uses the following pre-defined priorities:
1. Normal
route: designated by the ISP (see Remote Node Setup chapter) or a static route (see the IP Static
Route Setup chapter)
2. Traffic-redirect route (see the Remote Node Setup chapter)
For example, if the normal route has a metric of "1" and the traffic-redirect route has a metric of "2", then
the normal route acts as the primary default route. If the normal route fails to connect to the Internet, the
ZyWALL tries the traffic-redirect route next
If you want the traffic redirect route to take first priority over the normal route, all you need to do is set the
traffic redirect route’s metric to "1" and the normal route to "2" (or greater).
