3G/4G Failover: Persistent Connection Configuration depicts the sequence of events that occur when the WAN ethernet connection fails and the 3G/4G Connection Profile is configured for Persistent Connection.
3G/4G Failover: Persistent Connection Configuration
1
|
Primary Ethernet connection available – The Ethernet WAN interface is connected and used as the primary connection. The U0/U1/M0 interface is never connected while the Ethernet WAN interface is available (unless an explicit route has been configured which specifies 3G/4G as the destination interface).

|
Primary Ethernet connection fails – The U0/U1/M0 interface is initiated and remains in an “always-on” state while the Ethernet WAN connection is down.

Reestablishing Primary Ethernet Connectivity After Failover – When the Ethernet WAN connection (either the primary WAN port or the secondary WAN port, if so configured) becomes available again, all LAN-to-WAN traffic is automatically routed back to the available Ethernet WAN connection. This includes active connections and VPN connections. The U0/U1/M0 interface connection is closed.
