D-Link DSR-Series User Manual 45
Section 5 - Connect to the Internet
Auto-Rollover using WAN IP
In this mode one of your WAN ports is assigned as the primary internet link for all internet traīc and the
secondary WAN port is used for redundancy in case the primary link goes down for any reason. Both WAN ports
(primary and secondary) must be conīgured to connect to the respective ISPās before enabling this feature. The
secondary WAN port will remain unconnected until a failure is detected on the primary link (either port can be
assigned as the primary). In the event of a failure on the primary port, all internet traīc will be rolled over to
the backup port. When conīgured in Auto-Failover mode, the link status of the primary WAN port is checked at
regular intervals as deīned by the failure detection settings.
