Field Description Example

Selection:

WAN Metric

Traffic Redirect

Metric

Dial Backup

Metric

The BCM50a Integrated Router uses the connection

with the lowest metric value first.

The default WAN connection is 1 as your broadband

connection through the WAN port must always be

your preferred method of accessing the WAN.

The default priority of the routes is WAN, Traffic

Redirect and then Dial Backup (dial backup does not

apply to all BCM50a Integrated Router models):

You have two choices for an auxiliary connection, in

the event that your regular WAN connection goes

down. If Dial Backup is preferred to Traffic Redirect,

then type 14 in the Dial Backup Metric field (and

leave the Traffic Redirect Metric at the default of 15).
