a new default route via this link which allows us to test Internet connection on the
secondary link.
• In case of two leased links, the simplest way is to disable one of the connections int
he operating system and test the other (enabled) link. And, as implied, test the other
in the same way when the first link is checked.
Warning
Connection failover is relevant only if performed by a persistent connection (i.e. the primary

Configuration with the wizard
On the second page of the Traffic Policy Wizard (see chapter 7.1 ), select Multiple Internet Links
— Failover.
Figure 6.9 Traffic Policy Wizard — Internet connection failover
In the third step of the wizard, select a network interface for the primary connection (leased
or persistent dial-up link) and for the secondary connection (leased or dial-up link). If login
data for the selected telephone connections are not saved in the operating system, enter the
valid username and password.
