Figure 137 Menu 2.1: Traffic Redirect Setup Menu 2.1 - Traffic Redirect Setup Active= No Configuration: Backup Gateway IP Address= 0.0.0.0 Metric= 15 The following table describes the fields in this menu. Table 111 Menu 2.1: Traffic Redirect Setup 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 P-792H v2 automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the P792H v2's Internet connection terminates. Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the P-792H v2 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. P-792H v2 User's Guide 297
