Table 61: Information table for multi-WAN page
When you have enabled Multi-WAN, you can add the interfaces that will be managed by
Multi-WAN, for example 3G interfaces.
The name used for Multi-WAN must be identical, including upper and lowercases, to the
actual interface name defined in your network configuration. To check the names and
settings are correct, select
Network - > Interfaces
and view the Interfaces Overview
page.
In the WAN interfaces section, enter the name of the WAN interface to configure, and
then click
Add
. The new section for configuring specific parameters appears.
