Introduction

The action table controls actions triggered when there is a change in status of WAN connections. WAN connections include direct connections to an Internet provider, and also VPN connections based on this, such as those used to connect a branch office to a main office. Every action is linked with a condition that describes the change in status of the WAN connection (establishment, termination, failure or establish failure). Actions can be any of the commands available at the Telnet terminal. Furthermore, actions can transmit messages by e-mail or SYSLOG, send an HTTP request, or transmit a DNS request. Different variables allow information such as the current IP address, the name of the device, or an error message to be integrated into the action.
