WAN Link Balancing - with 3 ISP

GonFreecs over 6 years ago

Hi,

I have 3 ACTIVE ISP, Is it possible to create a firewall rule with WAN Link balancing but I will only USE 2(two) ISP

Primary: ISP 1 and ISP 2

Backup: ISP 3

I will use ISP 3 in my other firewall rules.

TIA

make active vs backup isp designations for 1,2,3 in the network >> wan link manager screen

set primary gateway to "wan link load balance" on the firewall rule you want to load balance between the 2 primary isp's which you would designate active in the previous screen

For the other firewall rules set isp3 as the primary gateway and "wan link load balance" as the backup gateway as appropriate

Yes you can by doing the following:

1) in the Network > WAN Link Manager: make ISP3 as backup

2) in the firewall rule if you select WAN load balance, then it will use ISP 1 and 2

3) for other rules explicitly select ISP 3

Good Luck
