This option allows you to configure the WAN connection whether for normal
daily usage or as a backup connection only.
If Always-on is chosen, the WAN connection will be kept on continuously,
regardless of the priority of other WAN connections.
If Backup is chosen, the WAN connection will depend on other WAN
connections. It will not be used when one or more higher priority dependent
WAN connections are connected.
Independent from
Backup WANs
If this is checked, the connection will be working independent from other
Backup WAN connections. Those in Backup Priority will ignore the status of
this WAN connection, and will be used when none of the other higher priority
connections are available.
NAT allows substituting the real address in a packet with a mapped address
that is routable on the destination network. By clicking the help icon in this
field, you can display the IP Forwarding option, if your network requires it.
Management IP Address is available for configuration when you click here
for other DHCP settings.
This option allows you to configure the management IP address for the
DHCP WAN connection.
If your service provider's DHCP server requires you to supply a hostname
value upon acquiring an IP address, you may enter the value here. If your
service provider does not provide you with the value, you can safely bypass
this option.
Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This setting
specifies the DNS (Domain Name System) servers to be used when a DNS
lookup is routed through this connection.
Selecting Obtain DNS server address automatically results in the DNS
servers being assigned by the WAN DHCP server to be used for outbound
DNS lookups over the connection. (The DNS servers are obtained along with
the WAN IP address assigned from the DHCP server.)
When Use the following DNS server address(es) is selected, you may
enter custom DNS server addresses for this WAN connection into the DNS
Server 1 and DNS Server 2 fields.
