| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Time Frame | You can set the ZyWALL to get the measured bandwidth using the average |
|
| bandwidth in the specified time interval. |
|
| Enter the time interval between 10 and 600 seconds. |
|
|
|
| Load Balancing | Specify the direction of the traffic utilization you want the ZyWALL to use in |
| Index(es) | calculating the load balancing index. |
|
| Select Outbound Only, Inbound Only or Outbound + Inbound. |
|
|
|
| Interface | This field displays the name of the WAN interface (WAN 1 and WAN 2). |
|
|
|
| Available | This field is applicable when you select Outbound + Inbound or Inbound Only in |
| Inbound | the Load Balancing Index(es) field. |
| Bandwidth | Specify the inbound (or downstream) bandwidth (in kilo bites per second) for the |
|
| interface. This should be the actual downstream bandwidth that your ISP provides. |
|
|
|
| Available | This field is applicable when you select Outbound + Inbound or Outbound Only in |
| Outbound | the Load Balancing Index(es) field. |
| Bandwidth | Specify the outbound (or upstream) bandwidth (in kilo bites per second) for the |
|
| interface. This should be the actual upstream bandwidth that your ISP provides. |

|
WAN Interface | Select this option to have the ZyWALL send all of a local computer’s traffic through |
to Local Host | the same WAN interface for the period of time that you specify (1 to 600 seconds). |
Mapping | This is useful when a redirect server forwards a local user’s request for a file and |
Timeout | informs the file server that a particular WAN IP address is requesting the file. If the |
| user’s subsequent sessions came from a different WAN IP address, the file server |
| would deny the request. |
