What exact metrics prove the failover test was truly successful?

Cellular Backup for NBN and Fixed WAN · 2026-09-15

During a controlled failover, capture: failover latency (time from primary WAN loss to traffic on cellular), downtime duration, and whether critical services remained reachable (VPN, remote access, monitoring, essential cloud apps). Verify the backup SIM was active, had data, and used the correct APN, and confirm external antennas or MIMO paths were functioning during the switch. Ensure remote management stays accessible over cellular, that alerts and logs record the transition, and note any disruption to dependent sessions (like EFTPOS or VOIP) in a test log. Define pass/fail criteria and repeat the test plan at intervals to verify reliability.
