Restrict RED traffic during failover

Can I make firewall rules that only take effect when a RED is using it's failover WAN?

I have remote workstations behind a RED that periodically backup across the network to our main site.

Is there a way to block these backups while their RED device is failed-over. My failover connection it LTE and that would cost me dearly, even for just a day.

Hi David - long time no see!

The only way I know to do this is to use Uplink Monitoring and an IPsec tunnel over the RED connection. Uplink Monitoring will let you disable the tunnel. It's not an elegant solution though. I would recommend replacing the RED 50 with an SG 115 with a Network Protection subscription. In fact, over time, that's a less expensive solution since you have to buy warranty extensions for the RED.

Cheers - Bob
