Get Dynamically

from ISP

If your ISP has not assigned you a static IP address, select the

IP Address

The static IP address assigned to you. This address identifies

the VPN firewall to your ISP.

Note:

If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address has

been previously registered with your ISP, you need to enter that

address on the WAN Advanced Options screen for the WAN interface

(see

Configure Advanced WAN Options and Other Tasks

on page

71).

Configure Load Balancing or Auto-Rollover for IPv4

Interfaces

You can configure the VPN firewall’s IPv4 interfaces on a mutually exclusive basis for either

auto-rollover (for increased system reliability) or load balancing (for maximum bandwidth

efficiency). If you do not select load balancing, you need to specify one WAN interface as the

primary interface.

The VPN firewall supports the following modes for IPv4 interfaces:

•

Load balancing mode

. The VPN firewall distributes the outbound traffic equally among

the WAN interfaces that are functional. You can configure up to four WAN interfaces. The

VPN firewall supports weighted load balancing and round-robin load balancing (see

Configure Load Balancing Mode and Optional Protocol Binding for IPv4

Interfaces

on

page

41).

Note:

Scenarios could arise in which load balancing needs to be bypassed

for certain traffic or applications. If certain traffic needs to travel on a

specific WAN interface, configure protocol binding rules for that

WAN interface. The rule should match the desired traffic.

•

Primary WAN mode

. The selected WAN interface is made the primary interface. The

other three interfaces are disabled.

•

Auto-rollover mode

. The selected WAN interface is defined as the primary link, and

another interface needs to be defined as the rollover link. The remaining two interfaces

are disabled. As long as the primary link is up, all traffic is sent over the primary link.

When the primary link goes down, the rollover link is brought up to send the traffic. When

the primary link comes back up, traffic automatically rolls back to the original primary link.

If you want to use a redundant ISP link for backup purposes, select the WAN port that

should function as the primary link for this mode. Ensure that the backup WAN port has

also been configured and that you configure the WAN failure detection method on the

WAN Advanced Options screen to support auto-rollover (see

Configure the Auto-Rollover

Mode and Failure Detection Method for IPv4

Interfaces

on page

45).

Note:

If the VPN firewall functions in IPv4 / IPv6 mode, you cannot

configure load balancing.
