Figure 145   Menu 2.2: Dial Backup Setup 

Table 96   Menu 2.1: Traffic Redirect Setup

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.
