1. Assign an interface to the WAN interface.
digi.router> wan 1 interface eth1
2. If using IPv6 addressing for the WAN, see Configure a WAN for IPv6.
3. Optional: Disable DHCP client mode.
digi.router> wan 1 dhcp off
4. Optional: Configure the IP address, mask, gateway, and DNS servers.
digi.router> wan 1 ip-address 10.1.2.2
digi.router> wan 1 mask 255.255.255.252
digi.router> wan 1 gateway 10.1.2.1
digi.router> wan 1 dns1 10.1.2.1
digi.router> wan 1 dns2 8.8.8.8
5. Optional: Set the speed.
digi.router> eth 1 speed {auto | 1000 | 100 | 10}
6. Save the configuration.
digi.router> save config
Configure IP probe settings
1. Optional: Configure the time, in seconds, to wait for this interface to connect and to receive a
probe response before failing over to a lower priority interface.
digi.router> wan 1 timeout 60
2. Configure the IP host to probe.
digi.router> wan 1 probe-host 192.168.47.1
3. Optional: Configure the time, in seconds, to wait for a response to a probe. This value must be
smaller than the probe-interval and timeout parameter values. If not, the configuration is
considered invalid, and an error message is written to the system log.
digi.router> wan 1 probe-timeout 5
4. Optional: Configure the interval, in seconds, between sending probe packets. This value must
be larger than the probe-timeout value. If not, the WAN failover configuration is considered
invalid, and an error message is written to the system log.
digi.router> wan 1 probe-interval 20
5. Optional: Configure the size of the IP probe packet.
digi.router> wan 1 probe-size 120
