Connecting Multiple Hosts
If more than one host is 
configured, a Host Mode option 
appears. Host Mode controls 
how multiple hosts will be 
accessed. For EDS, the 
Connect Mode supports up to 
sixteen Hosts. Hosts may be 
accessed sequentially or 
simultaneously:
Sequential
 – Sequential 
host lists establish a 
prioritized list of tunnels. 
The host specified as Host 
1 will be attempted first. If 
that fails, it will proceed to 
Host 2, 3, etc, in the order 
they are specified. When a 
connection drops, the cycle 
starts again with Host 1 and 
proceeds in order. 
Establishing the host order 
is accomplished with host 
list promotion (see 
). 
Sequential is the default 
Host Mode.  
Simultaneous
 – A tunnel 
will connect to all hosts 
accepting a connection.  
Connections occur at the 
same time to all listed 
hosts.  The device can 
support a maximum of 64 
total aggregate 
connections.
    
Host List Promotion
This feature allows Host IP promotion of individual hosts in the overall sequence.
To promote a specific Host:
1. Click the 
 icon in the desired Host field, for example Host 2 and Host 3. 
2. The selected Host(s) exchanges its place with the Host above it.
3. Click Submit. The hosts change sequence.
Note:
The CP Output option is only supported in 
XPort Pro and XPort AR.
