# Automatic Re-home

  Set this option if you want the backup ports to automatically Re-home once the original connection is restored.
  This option is set when a check mark appears at the left of the option. To disable this feature, click on the option again to remove the check mark.
  This feature automatically switches sessions from Dial Backup to the primary Frame Relay path, when the event that triggered the connection to the dial backup has been cleared.
  Be aware that this switch happens as soon as the triggering event has been cleared. User sessions will be reestablished on the primary frame relay path. The dial connection will be taken down and disconnected. Any IP traffic on the dial backup path will stop and wait for re-convergence on the primary frame relay connection path. This may add instability to the environment in some cases. The alternative is to not use the Automatic re-home feature, and manually re-home the sessions when the environment is known to be stable.
  Access devices in the "Ready to Re-home" state will have a mustard-yellow color bar in the Network Status window.
  Backup ports may be set manually by selecting the Home Backup Ports option.
