on start up. But when other enabled WAN ports fail, the backup WAN port will be activated and take over all the traffic.
3.2.8 QoS
The QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP, MAC address and port number. 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.
If the total assigned bandwidth of higher priority applications is larger than the
? maximum bandwidth provided by the WAN port, the other applications will not get Note: any bandwidth.
