Setting Up Dual WAN and Multi-WAN Connections

Mode - Cisco RV016

You can configure up to seven Internet connections by using the two Internet ports and the five dual-function ports. You can choose one of the following modes to manage your WAN connections:

•Intelligent Balancer (Auto Mode): Select this option to balance traffic between all interfaces to increase the available bandwidth. The router balances the traffic between the interfaces in a weighted round robin fashion.

•IP Group (By Users): Select this option to group traffic on each WAN interface by priority levels or classes of service (CoS). With this feature, you can ensure bandwidth and higher priority for the specified services and users. All traffic that is not added to the IP Group uses Intelligent Balancer mode. To specify the services and users, click the Edit icon for the WAN interface and then add protocol binding entries for each service, IP address, or range of IP addresses.

NOTE: The Router reserves at least one WAN port for non-IP Group users, so WAN1 will always be set to Intelligent Balancer (Auto Mode). Protocol binding is not available for WAN1.
