Drop-in mode eases the installation of the Peplink Balance on a live network between the
existing firewall and router, such that no configuration changes are required on existing
equipment. Check the box to enable the drop-in mode feature.
Please refer to Section 11, Drop-in Mode for details.
Select the WAN port to be used for drop-in mode. If WAN 1 with LAN Bypass is selected,
the high availability feature will be disabled automatically.
When this option is enabled, the passthrough IP address will be used to connect to WAN
hosts (email notification, remote syslog, etc.). The Balance will listen for this IP address
when WAN hosts access services provided by the Balance (web admin access from the
WAN, DNS server requests, etc.).
To connect to hosts on the LAN (email notification, remote syslog, etc.), the default gateway
address will be used. The Balance will listen for this IP address when LAN hosts access
services provided by the Balance (web admin access from the WAN, DNS proxy, etc.).
Access to this IP address will be passed through to the LAN port if this device is not serving
the service being accessed. The shared IP address will be used in connecting to hosts on
the WAN (e.g., email notification, remote syslog, etc.) The device will also listen on the IP
address when hosts on the WAN access services served on this device (e.g., web admin
accesses from WAN, DNS server, etc.)
Enter the WAN router's IP address in this field. If there are more hosts in addition to the
router on the WAN segment, click the button next to “WAN Default Gateway” and check
the I have other host(s) on WAN segment box and enter the IP address of the hosts that
need to access LAN devices or be accessed by others.
Enter the selected WAN's corresponding DNS server IP addresses.
