Configuring the Load Balancing

Follow these steps to configure the load balancing

1) In the

General

Section, enable load balancing function globally and click

Save

2) In the

Basic Settings

section, select the appropriate method for load balancing and

click

Save

Enable Application

Optimized Routing

With Application Optimized Routing enabled, the router will consider

the source IP address and destination IP address (or destination port)

of the packets as a whole and record the WAN port they pass through.

Then the packets with the same source IP address and destination IP

address (or destination port) will be forwarded to the recorded WAN

port. This feature ensures that multi-connected applications work

properly.

Enable Bandwidth Based

Balance Routing on port(s)

Select the WAN port from the drop-down list to enable Bandwidth

Based Balance Routing.
