6. If you want to assign another WAN port as a backup interface,
please tick on the checkbox in the Backup Interfaces field.
7. Enter a number between 1 and 86400, in the Deferred Time field.
Please note that the default value is 600 seconds.

13.3 Configuring WAN Load-Balancing
The configuration parameters for the WAN Load-Balancing are shown in the
following table.
This option is available under both ―Load balancing‖
and ―Rollover‖ mode and mandatory for ―Rollover‖.
Connectivity check is used to monitor the link status
for the WAN ports by sending PING request packets
periodically to the configured IP address.
Enable Connectivity
Check
To enable the connectivity check, please tick this
check box.
The interval that the router sends PING request
packets at. The allowable value is 1 to 60 seconds.
Enter the IP address of the specific network device
that the traffic will pass through. This field is optional.
Normally, you don't need to provide any IP address
here, unless you know the traffic must pass a specific
network device. If this field is absent, the route will
send PING request to gateway IP address to monitor
The gateway IP address. Please note that this field is
read-only.
Display the current WAN link status.
When the WAN Load Balancing is selected. The
OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall can distribute
outgoing traffic across all active WAN interfaces on a
per-connection basis.
Select one of the following algorithms from the drop-
down list:
(a) Weighted Round Robin: This algorithm
assigns network session capacity to each
WAN link in different portions, called weight,
and handles network traffic in order without
priority.
(b) Least Traffic First: By the implication of its
name, the algorithm chooses the
dispatched WAN link according to the most
bandwidth remains.
Bandwidth
Allocation (in Ratio)
You can configure this algorithm to obtain the weight
factors from normalizing the configured WAN TX
bandwidths (tick the box ―Calculate from [Tx Max.]‖) or
just set these values manually.
Follow these steps to configure the WAN Load-Balancing:
1. Click on Traffic MGMT > WAN Link Mgmt to enter the WAN Link
Configuration page. See Figure 13.1 WAN Link Mgmt Configuration
Page.
