Gigabit Network QoS Router

Attention! When the Auto Load Balance mode is collocated with Protocol Binding, only IP
addresses or servers that are configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external
connections; those which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device Auto Load Balance
system.
Please refer to the explanations in
6.2.3
Configuring Protocol Binding
for setting up Protocol
Binding and for examples of collocating router modes with Protocol Binding.
Exclusive Mode
This mode enables users to assign specific intranet IP addresses, destination application service ports or
destination IP addresses to go through an assigned WAN for external connection. After being assigned, the
specific WAN will only support those assigned Intranet IP addresses, specific destination application service
ports, or specific destination IP addresses. Intranet IP, specific destination application service ports and
specific destination IP that is not configured under the rules will go through other WANs for external
connection. For unassigned WANs, users can select Load Balance mode and select session or IP for load
balancing.
Un-binding interfaces load balancing mode:
If you don
’t specified IP address
、
TCP/UDP port or destination IP addresses in WAN ports, you can still
use
“Session Balance” and “IP Balance” mechanisms to fullful load balancing. Detail of these two
mechanisms are as following.
Session Balance
: If “By Session” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate connections
based on session number to achieve network load balance.
IP Balance
: If “By IP” is selected, the WAN bandwidth will automatically allocate connections based on
the number of IP addresses to achieve network load balance.
Note!
Only when a device assignment is collocated with Protocol Binding can the balancing function
be brought into full play. For example, an assignment requiring all Intranet IP addresses to go
through WAN 1 when connecting with service port 80, or go through WAN 1 when connecting with
IP 211.1.1.1, must be set up in the Protocol Binding Configuration.
Attention: When assigning mode is selected, as in the above example, the IP(s) or service
provider(s) configured in the connection rule will follow the rule for external connections, but those
which are not configured in the rule will still follow the device Load Balance system to go through
