What is Failover? Simple Failover Guide by Teltonika Networks

Join us in this episode of Network Essentials where we dive into the world of failover - a critical backup operational feature that ensures your internet connection stays up and running, even during outages or disruptions. We use the RUT956 cellular router as an example to illustrate how failover works across different WAN interfaces. Learn how to set your primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of connectivity and understand how the system automatically switches between these interfaces. This video is ideal for those seeking to ensure continuous network connectivity and is a must-watch if you value network redundancy.

Good job explaining failover. well done.

Is it better to use failover or auto sim switch?

Ping is not a representation of quality. One could have a 20kb connection and still achieve ICMP prong results.

What provisions are there to actually test the quality of the connection to make sure that the fastest pipe is being used.

Furthermore... Is aggregation possible where all pipes are used in order to obtain merged speeds?
