What is the Link Backup feature?

Link Backup ensures continuous communication by switching to a backup link if the main link fails.

  • Main Link: Can be set to WAN port or Dial-up interface.

  • Backup Modes:

    • Hot Backup: Both links are online; switches immediately if the current one disconnects.

    • Cold Backup: The backup link only comes online when the main link disconnects.

    • Load Balancing: Data is propagated through corresponding links after successful ICMP detection.
