Introduction
This chapter describes setting up and managing the WAN Bonding functionality for the BD1000. The WAN
Bonding functionality securely connects the BD1000 in a different branch to another BD1000. The data,
voice or video communications between these locations are kept confidential across the public Internet.
The WAN Bonding of the BD1000 is specifically designed for a multi-WAN enviroment. The BD1000 can
aggregate the bandwidth for all WAN connections to route Site-to-Site VPN traffic. Unless all of the VPN
connections of one site are down, the BD1000 can still keep the VPN up and running. With VPN Bandwidth
Bonding, all available bandwidth will be utilized to establish the VPN tunnel, and all traffic will be load bal-
anced at packet level across all links. VPN Bandwidth Bonding is enabled by default.
Note
You can define firewall rules to control access within the VPN net-
work. Outbound traffic can be redirected to VPN tunnels with cus-
tom outbound policies (see Chapter 5,
