Failover is the process of automatically switching to a backup system or resource when the primary system fails. It ensures continuous operation and minimizes downtime in the event of a failure.
This ensures uninterrupted network availability and reliability. It is a key feature in network redundancy and high-availability systems to maintain seamless operation in case of failures.
In this article, we have a scenario where we have one ISP connection and the other one is GSM.
To configure the failover we have to configure the Network Interface for both connections.
To configure the WAN interface follow the Kb article provided in the below link.
