IP Group (By Users)
IP Group (By Users) mode enables you to group traffic by different priority levels or classes of service (CoS). It can
ensure bandwidth and higher priority for the specific IP addresses of important users, and the IP Group users
don’t need to share bandwidth with lower classification users who use Intelligent Balancer mode.
In the Interface Setting table, the number of each WAN port is shown in the Interface column. If you have set the
IP Group for a selected WAN port, it will show the message, “Dispatched by user” in the Mode column. If you did
not set the IP Group for a selected WAN port, it will show the message, “Dispatched by system” in the Mode
column.
After you have selected IP Group (By Users), then click the
Edit
in the Config. column to edit the Mode setting of
the selected WAN port. The
Edit Load Balance
screen will appear.
In the
Interface

You can enable the Router to check the network service layer using DNS lookup. This tool can detect the network
connection status of the ISP if you have set up the DNS server in the Network section of the Setup page. If you did
not set up the DNS server, the checkbox will be grayed out, and then you cannot use the DNS lookup tool. The
default is unchecked. To use this tool, enter the host name and select the appropriate option from the
When Fail
drop-down menu. Using DNS lookup, the Router will check the network service layer every 15 minutes to see if
the network connection to your ISP is active.
The
When Fail
drop-down menu offers two options. If the connection is not active, the Router will generate a
system log or suspend this WAN interface. For the
Generate System Log
setting, the Router will generate a
system log when DNS lookup fails to inform you that the ISP connection may be disconnected. For the
Suspend
this WAN Interface
setting, the Router will suspend this WAN interface when the network connection to your ISP
is not active. The traffic on this WAN will be dispatched to the other WAN ports in Auto Mode. When the ISP
connection is re-established, traffic will return to this WAN interface.
To add an IP range, follow these instructions:
1.
Enter the beginning IP address of the range in the
Address
field.
2.
Enter the number of users in the
Range
field.
