The WAN Redundancy window opens. From this page you can determine how the
two ISP links are used.
•
Use the Loab Balancing mode if you want to use both ISP links
simultaneously. The two links will carry data for the protocols that are bound
to them. Enter the following information:
-
Equal Load Balancing (Round Robin):
Re-orders the WAN interfaces for
Round Robin selection. The order is as follows: WAN1 and WAN2. The
Round Robin will then repeat back to WAN1 and continue the order.
-
Weighted Load Balancing:
Distributes the bandwidth to two WAN ports
by the weighted percange or by the weighted link bandwidth. If you
choose this mode, then choose one of the following options and finish the
setting:
Weighted By percentage:
Allows you to set the percentage for each
WAN, such as 80% percentage bandwidth for WAN1 and lest 20%
percentage bandwidth for WAN2.
Weighted By Link Bandwidth:
Allows you to set the rate limiting for each
WAN, such as 10 Mbps for WAN1 and 5 Mbps for WAN2.
•
Use the Failover mode if you want to use one ISP link as a backup. If a failure
is detected on the primary link, then the security appliance directs all
Internet traffic to the backup link. When the primary link regains connectivity,
all Internet traffic is directed to the primary link, and the backup link becomes
idle. Enter the following information:
-
Auto Failover to:
Choose either WAN1 or WAN2 as the primary link. By
default, WAN1 is set as the primary link and WAN2 is set as the backup
link. You can also set WAN2 as the primary link.
-
Preempt Delay Timer:
Enter the time in seconds that the system will
preempt the primary link from the backup link when the primary link is up
again. The default is 5 seconds.
