v1.0, March 2009
Configuring the WAN Mode (Required for Dual WAN)
The dual WAN ports of the ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 can be configured on a mutually exclusive
basis for either auto-rollover (for increased system reliability) or load balancing (for maximum
bandwidth efficiency).
• Auto-Rollover Mode. In this mode, the selected WAN interface is made primary and the other
is the rollover link. As long as the primary link is up, all traffic is sent over the primary link.
Once the primary WAN interface goes down, the rollover link is brought up to send the
traffic.Traffic will automatically roll back to the original primary link once the original
primary link is back up and running again.
