MEP - Manual Priority List

What can I do here?

Use this window to set the order in which central gateways in a star community are chosen as the entry point to the core network. The central gateways are chosen in order of priority.

Understanding MEP Manual Priority

Which gateway will be chosen as the entry point to the core network can be controlled by manually setting a priority per source gateway. Each priority constitutes a MEP Rule.

The MEP manual priority list window is divided into the default rule, and rules which provide exceptions to the default rule. The default MEP rule takes effect when:

• No MEP rules are defined
• When the source of the connection cannot be found in the Exception priority rules

The Exception priority rules section contains three priority levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. While there are only three priority levels,

• The same priority can be assigned to several central gateways
• The same rule can be assigned to several satellite gateways
• A priority level can be left blank
