LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Name
This field displays the label to identify the trunk.
Load Balancing
Algorithm
Select a load balancing method to use from the drop-down list box.
Select
Weighted Round Robin
to balance the traffic load between interfaces based on their
respective weights. An interface with a larger weight gets more chances to transmit traffic than
an interface with a smaller weight. For example, if the weight ratio of wan1 and wan2 interfaces
is 2:1, the SBG chooses wan1 for 2 sessions’ traffic and wan2 for 1 session’s traffic in each round
of 3 new sessions.
Select
Least Load First
to send new session traffic through the least utilized trunk member.
Select
Spillover
to send network traffic through the first interface in the group member list until
there is enough traffic that the second interface needs to be used (and so on).
Load Balancing
Index(es)
This field is available if you selected to use the
Least Load First
or
Spillover
method.
Select
Outbound
,
Inbound
, or
Ou Inbound
to set the traffic to which the SBG applies the
load balancing method. Outbound means the traffic traveling from an internal interface (ex.
LAN) to an external interface (ex. WAN). Inbound means the opposite.
The table lists the trunk’s member interfaces. You can add, edit, remove, or move entries for user
configured trunks.
Add
Click this to add a member interface to the trunk. Select an interface and click
Add
to add a
new member interface after the selected member interface.
Edit
Select an entry and click
Edit
to modify the entry’s settings.
Remove
To remove a member interface, select it and click
Remove
