Protocol Binding
Path: Network > Routing > Protocol Binding
Protocol bindings are useful when the Load Balancing feature is in use. Selecting from a list of configured services
or any of the user-defined services, the type of traffic can be assigned to go over only one of the available Option
ports. For increased flexibility the source network or machines can be specified as well as the destination network
or machines. For example, the VOIP traffic for a set of LAN IP addresses can be assigned to one Option and any
VOIP traffic from the remaining IP addresses can be assigned to the other Option link. Protocol bindings are only
applicable when load balancing mode is enabled and more than one Option port is configured.
