Auto failover is a feature that allows a device or service to automatically switch to a backup system or path if the primary one fails.
There are two types of auto failover: link and node.
Link failover: The backup system is activated when the primary link becomes inactive.
Node failover: The backup system is activated when a device becomes inactive on the primary side.
The routers will automatically switch to the backup path when the primary connection goes down. Teltonika routers Failover feature is available in the Cellular menu, and it can be enabled for both WAN and LAN ports. Additionally, you can set a priority for each port. The router will try to use the port with the higher priority first, and if that fails, it will use the port with the lower priority.
When configuring failover, you will also need to specify a backup gateway. This is the IP address of the device or service that will be used as the backup connection. You can find this information in your account with the provider of the backup service.
Many Teltonika devices have this feature, which can be enabled in the configuration menu. The Teltonika RUTX11 Industrial Cellular Routers have Teltonika failover along with backup WAN. These routers also have a wide range of other features, such as cellular speeds of up to 300Mbps, dual-band Wi-Fi, support for multiple protocols, and compatibility with the company's Remote Management System.
