Configure the basic settings of WAN Failover following the instructions below.

Detection Interval

This is the interval which specifies how often the VFG6005 series will check the

Ethernet WAN connection.

Connection Detection

Threshold

The system will generate a PING packet to detect whether the Ethernet WAN

connection is still connected. If the Host has not responded for this threshold

value, the system is considered to be Ethernet WAN link down.

Detection Timeout

This is the timeout time before the connection ping is considered lost.

External Connection

Detection

Select Enable/Disable to enable/disable connection detection.

This is required

for failover from Ethernet WAN to Mobile WAN.

Detection Type

Select Gateway or use your own custom Host IP.

The VFG6005 series will

check the connection to this IP periodically. If at any time the connection ping is

lost for the threshold set, the VFG6005 series will switch WAN traffic from

Ethernet WAN to Mobile WAN if available.

Custom Detection Host

Enter the IP address or domain name of the host to be detected.

Fallback
