IP Grouping System Configurations
Backup Line Disable Time : The interval to disable backup line after main lines have returned to normal.
Backup Line Rules table
Field Purpose / Description
Main Line : Select main lines, which can be multiple links.
Backup Line : Select backup lines.
Algorithm :
5 options to activate backup lines:
l All fail: when all lines defined in [Main line] are down
l One fails: when one of the lines defined in [Main line] is down
l Inbound bandwidth usage reached: when the inbound bandwidth
consumption of all lines defined in [Main Line] reaches the defined level
l Outbound bandwidth usage reached: when the outbound bandwidth
consumption of all lines defined in [Main Line] reaches the defined level
l Total traffic reached: when the total bandwidth consumption of all lines
defined in [Main Line] reaches the defined level
Parameter : When the latter 3 options are chosen in [Algorithm], you can define here the band-
width usage of the main lines over which backup lines are to be enabled.
IP Grouping
[IP Grouping] lets you create and manage IP groups exclusively and efficiently. These predefined IP groups are
available and easy to use in the drop-down list of the fields of [Source] and [Destination] on such [Service] submenus
as [Firewall], [NAT], [Persistent Routing], [Auto Routing], [Inbound BM], [Outbound BM], [Connection Limit], and
[Cache Redirect]. This section walks you through the steps to create an IP group.
IP Grouping Table:
Group Name : Assign a name to an IP group. The name will show in the drop-down list of
[Source] and [Destination] in [Service] submenus mentioned previously.
Enable : Check the field to enable an IP group. Once the IP group has been enabled,
it will show in the drop-down list of [Source] and [Destination] in [Service]
submenus mentioned previously.
Show/Hide IPv4/IPv6 Detail : Click the button to show or hide the IPv4/IPv6 table details. After Hide
Detail has been clicked, the table only shows the name of the IP group and
whether it has been enabled.
After you have clicked [Show IPv4/IPv6 Detail], [IPv4/IPv6 Rules Settings] table displays. You can click [Hide
IPv4/IPv6 Details] to close the table.
