ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3
Configure the Auto-Rollover Mode and Failure Detection
Method for IPv4 Interfaces
Instead of using two WAN interfaces simultaneously in a load balancing configuration, you
can use one WAN interface as the primary link and the other WAN interface as the backup
link for increased reliability.
The following sections provide information about configuring auto-rollover mode and the
failure detection method for IPv4 interfaces:
Auto-Rollover Mode and Failure Detection
Configure Auto-Rollover Mode for IPv4 WAN Interfaces
Configure the Failure Detection Method for IPv4 WAN Interfaces
Auto-Rollover Mode and Failure Detection
To use a redundant ISP link for backup purposes, ensure that the backup WAN interface is
configured. Then select the WAN interface that must function as the primary link for this
mode and configure the WAN failure detection method to support auto-rollover.
When the VPN firewall is configured in auto-rollover mode, it uses the selected WAN failure
detection method to detect the status of the primary link connection at regular intervals. For
IPv4 interfaces, the VPN firewall detects link failure in one of the following ways:
By sending DNS queries to a DNS server
By sending a ping request to an IP address
From the primary WAN interface, DNS queries or ping requests are sent to the specified IP
address. If replies are not received, after a specified number of retries, the primary WAN
interface is considered down and a rollover to the backup WAN interface occurs. When the
primary WAN interface comes back up, another rollover occurs from the backup WAN
interface back to the primary WAN interface. The WAN failure detection method that you
select applies only to the primary WAN interface, that is, it monitors the primary link only.
Configure Auto-Rollover Mode for IPv4 WAN Interfaces
The following procedure describes how to configure auto-rollover mode for IPv4 WAN
interfaces.
To configure auto-rollover mode for IPv4 WAN interfaces:
1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter the IP address that was assigned to the VPN
firewall during the installation process.
The VPN firewall factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
3. In the Username field, type your user name and in the Password / Passcode field, type
your password.
