Backup Default Gateway
If you do not want to use the internal modem for backup, the Netopia 3366C-ENT offers backup functionality to
an alternate gateway typically connected to a LAN port.
A typical application would be to have a LAN connection from your router to another router that has, for
example, an ISDN or other broadband connection to the Internet, and designating the second router as the
backup gateway. Should the primary WAN connection fail, traffic would be automatically redirected through your
alternate gateway device to maintain Internet connectivity.
Two menus control the backup gateway feature:
• the Backup Configuration screen in the Advanced Configuration Options of the WAN Configuration menu
Here, you enable the backup feature and set some parameters, just as you did for modem backup.
