Screen Note: Load Balancing applies to the RF830/RF830-AP only.

Load Balancing distributes LAN-to-LAN traffic over two or more WAN links. This allows for the amount of traffic on each line to be based on a specified weighed value so that communication can be made faster and more reliable.

Load Balancing Weight Configuration

WAN1 & WAN2 Weight

Enter a numeric value from 1 to 10 in the Weight fields. This value sets the number of data packets to be sent/received by WAN1 before the communication process is transferred to WAN2.

A value of 3 for each WAN link seems to work well. However, if one WAN link is faster than the other, then you might want to enter a higher number for that link; e.g., use a 3:1 ratio.

After entering both weights, click Save.

Load Balancing Keep Alive URL Configuration

Keep Alive URL1 & URL2

Enter the Keep Alive URL address. Then click Save.

An ICMP echo request is sent to the configured URLs entered here. The request triggers the system to check the connectivity to the Internet through the WAN Ethernet interface(s). Supports a maximum of two URLs.

Spoofing on the WAN Interfaces

Allow Spoofing on the WAN Interface
