The private network you are connecting to might include one or more backup VPN devices (servers) to use if the primary server is not available. The list of available backup servers is pushed to the VPN Client when the connection is established, or you can add a backup server to the list manually.
The list of existing backup servers is found on the Backup Servers tab for each connection entry. Your network administrator can provide information regarding backup servers.
To use backup servers, you must enable this parameter.
Click Modify at the top of the VPN Client window. The VPN Client Properties dialog box appears.
Check the Enable Backup Servers check box. This parameter is not enabled by default. The list of available backup servers is displayed. Backup servers are used in the order presented in the list.
To change the order in which the backup servers are used, select a backup server and use the arrow buttons to move the server up or down in the list.
Click Save. The VPN Client Properties dialog box closes and you return to the Connection Entries tab.
If there are no backup servers listed, or if you want to manually add a server to the list, use the following procedure.
Click the Add button on the Backup Servers tab. The VPN Client dialog box appears.
Enter the hostname or IP address of the backup server to add.
Click OK. The backup server is added to the list of available backup servers.
To remove a backup server, return to the Backup Server tab, select a server from the list, and click Remove.
