Connecting Multiple Hosts
If more than one host is configured, a
Host Mode
option appears. Host Mode controls how
multiple hosts will be accessed. For EDS1100/2100, the Connect Mode supports up to sixteen
Hosts. Hosts may be accessed sequentially or simultaneously:
Sequential
– Sequential host lists establish a prioritized list of tunnels. The host specified as
Host 1 will be attempted first. If that fails, it will proceed to Host 2, 3, etc, in the order they are
specified. When a connection drops, the cycle starts again with Host 1 and proceeds in order.
Establishing the host order is accomplished with host list promotion (see
). Sequential is the default Host Mode.
Simultaneous
– A tunnel will connect to all hosts accepting a connection. Connections occur
at the same time to all listed hosts. The device can support a maximum of 64 total aggregate
connections.
