5.7.1 Add/Edit multi-WAN
Click Add New Entry in the multi-WAN screen or the Edit icon next to an existing multi-WAN rule
to configure it.
Figure 32 multi-WAN: Add/Edit
The following table describes the labels in this screen.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface If you are adding a new entry, select the interface that you want to configure this rule for.
The list shows the interfaces that have not configured multi-WAN rules. If no interface is
shown in the list, this means all interfaces already have existing rules. You must delete an
old rule before adding a new one.
Mode Select whether you want to configure the rule as Active or Passive. If you choose Active,
the Device always attempt to use this connection. If you choose Passive, the Device only
use this connection when all of the connections set to active are down. You can only set one
interface to passive mode.
Note: The mode of the 3G interface is locked to passive and cannot be changed to active. To
set another interface to passive mode, the 3G interface must be deleted first.
Weight If you choose Active in the Mode field, specify the weight (1~10) for the interface. The
weights of the different member interfaces form a ratio. This ratio determines how much
traffic the Device sends through each member interface. The higher an interface’s weight is
(relative to the weights of the interfaces), the more traffic the Device sends through that
interface.
Connectivity Check
Enable Select this to have the interface regularly check the connection to the gateway you
specified to make sure it is still available.
You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how long to wait for a response
before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive failures are required before the
Device stops routing to the gateway. The Device resumes routing to the gateway the first
time the gateway passes the connectivity check.
