2.2.7 WAN Policy

The WAN policy for multi-homing can be setup here. You can setup policy for each WAN separately. The router will balance the load between all active WAN ports according to the Send/Receive rate of the WAN ports. You can setup an IP for the router to detect if the WAN line is connected. If the router fails to ping the IP, it would recognize the WAN line as not connected, and will stop directing the Internet traffic to this WAN port. The traffic will be redirected to the other active WAN port. The Intranet users will not become aware of this change and keep surfing the Internet smoothly. You also can setup a WAN port as a backup WAN port. Backup WAN port would not be activated when the router start up. When the other active WAN port fails to connect to the Internet, the backup WAN port will be activated and take over all the traffic.

Parameter	Description
Speed	The send/upstream and receive/downstream
	speed of the WAN line the WAN port is
	connected to.
Connectivity check	You can key in an IP. The router will ping that IP
	to verify if the WAN line can access the Internet.
	You also can select “Ping Default Gateway”, and
	the router will check if the WAN line is ok by ping
	the default gateway of the WAN port.
Operation	If you select “Enable”, the WAN port will be
	activated when the system boot up. If you select

You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with smaller priority number has higher priority the rule with larger priority number has lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down Enable/Disable QoS Add a QoS rule into the table The name of this rule QoS Rulerule and click “Move Down” to make its priority lower Select the WAN ports that the packets matchingSource MAC Address BandwidthSource Address Source IP AddressReset ApplySecondary DNS Address optional DefaultDomain Name Server DNS address Provider Enable/DisablePassword/Key DynDNS2.3 LAN LAN IPDomain Name IP Address PoolLease Time 192.168.2.100 to End IP 192.168.2.199 .
