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 the EDS3000 device, the Connect Mode supports up to 16
hosts. Hosts may be accessed sequentially or simultaneously:
Sequential
– A 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
Host List Promotion
on page 84
). Sequential is the default Host Mode.
Simultaneous
– A tunnel will connect to all hosts accepting a connection. Simultaneous
connections occur at the same time to all listed hosts. The EDS3000 devices 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.

reconnect. However, if none of these conditions are selected, closure from the network is taken as
a disconnected host. The gateway can support a maximum of 64 total aggregate connections.
