Windows update on secondary / backup link

Trimble Network

We have 2 x WAN links, one as a primary the second as a backup.  we have found windows update killing our primary link of late so would like to send all windows update based traffic on the secondary/backup link.  

We are running a Sophos XG 16.05.8 MR-8

I have crated a traffic shaping Qos policy then applied this policy against the traffic shaping defaults for software updates so that i can ensure it won't kill the backup link should we ever have to fail the primary link over...

 

however i can't seem to work out how to create a firewall rule to send traffic to windows update - 

any suggestions appreciated or if you feel i've taken the wrong approach i'm open to suggestions.

 

Thanks in advance

    My experience is without an AD, so this might be a guide only.

    Set a higher priority rule that points at the MS update sites and have its gateway your backup link.

    You might also consider upgrading to mr9 or v17.0 MR-5 if you do not use IPSEC?
