You can create as many Members as you want to build up a pool of Interfaces with different
costs and balance ratios . To make it easier when constructing the Load Balancing System, you
should create a new Member for each Internet source used in every Rule in the above examples.
Policies Section
To see the Policies section click on the Policies tab.
A Policy is a group of one or more Members that determines how traffic sent to it is handled.
This is done by using the
Cost and Balance Ratio of the Members.
In any situation a Policy will always chose the Member with the lowest Cost to use first. This
means that all traffic will be sent using the Member with the lowest Cost . If that Member is not
connected then it will chose the Member with the next lowest Cost .
If all Members have a different Cost then the Policy will do Failover from one Member to the
other. However, if two or more Members have the same Cost the Policy will split the traffic
between them based on the Balance Ratio of each. In this case the Policy is doing loadbalancing .
To create a new Policy, enter its name on the line and click the ADD button.
From the pool of Members add the ones that you need for this Policy. Remember that lower Cost
Members will receive the traffic first and equal Cost Members will share the traffic.
