- Sending Ethernet traffic securely from one private network to another over an untrusted
network.
Network Link Failover/Failback - The unit supports following two types of network link failover
and failback features:
- Route (Layer-3) Failover - The unit supports this feature by enabling configuration of
multiple routes to same destination network with different preference (metric) values, enabling
traffic to be sent using the route with high preference in normal scenario and failing back to the
route with lower preference when the destination network is not reachable through the higher
preference route.
- Link (Layer-2) Failover - The unit supports this feature by creation of a bond interface in an
active-backup mode that can aggregate a primary and secondary layer-2 link. When primary
link is down, the secondary link is used to send layer-2 traffic etc.
From the Interface navigation bar, the status may be displayed by clicking on the interface within the list:

Each interface collects the same basic set of status information. The following example illustrates the
information of the “Bridge”. Definitions that are provided may apply to any of the interfaces.
Type - Indicates the Interface type - Read only system information
Admin Status - The desired state of the interface - Up meaning operational
