Inbound Traffic to a Single WAN Port System

The Internet IP address of the UTM’s WAN port needs to be known to the public so that the public can send incoming traffic to the exposed host when this feature is supported and enabled.

In the single WAN case, the WAN’s Internet address is either fixed IP or an FQDN if the IP address is dynamic.

Figure 361.

Inbound Traffic to a Dual WAN Port System

The IP address range of the UTM’s WAN port needs to be both fixed and public so that the public can send incoming traffic to the multiple exposed hosts when this feature is supported and enabled.

Inbound Traffic: Dual WAN Ports for Improved Reliability

In a dual WAN port auto-rollover configuration, the WAN port’s IP address will always change when a rollover occurs. You need to use an FQDN that toggles between the IP addresses of the WAN ports (that is, WAN1 or WAN2).

Inbound Traffic: Dual WAN Ports for Load Balancing

In a dual WAN port load-balancing configuration, the Internet address of each WAN port is either fixed if the IP address is fixed or an FQDN if the IP address is dynamic (see the following figure).
