Netopia Firmware 4000-Series - Manual (Page 203)

Line Backup 7-15
Use this setting with caution. Setting it to Yes may induce alternating switching between Backup and
Recover y Mode. This field will determine the recover y behavior of a Manual backup and Ping failure
backup. These two failures are treated as Layer 2 failures.
■ If you enable Auto-Recover y on loss of Layer 2, the Layer 2 Failure Timer (seconds) field becomes vis-
ible, and you can specify how long the Auto-Recover y should wait before attempting to recover connec-
tivity through your primar y connection. This can prevent alternating switching between Backup and
Recover y Mode.
■ Press Escape twice to return to the Main Menu.
IP Setup screen
To configure the backup gateway, from the Main Menu select System Configuration then IP Setup.
The IP Setup screen appears.
The IP Setup screen permits entr y of a backup IP gateway address. This field is always visible, even if the
Default IP Gateway field is not filled out, as in the case of a DHCP-acquired IP address and default gateway on
the WAN inter face.
For more information on IP Setup see the “IP Setup” on page 6-2 .
Note: Backup and Recover y have resolutions of five seconds. This is how often the router evaluates the state
of the connections and makes decisions.
