address change.
Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections. Also, the
Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually takes place. As a result,
a LAN client computer behind the Pepwave router may communicate using multiple Internet IP
addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router with three WAN connections
may communicate on the Internet using three different IP addresses.
With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client computers to persistently utilize the
same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure websites. As a result, a client computer will
communicate using one IP address, eliminating the issues mentioned above.
There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination.
By Source:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and
originating from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option will
provide the highest level of application compatibility.
By Destination:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating
from the same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can
better distribute loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client
machines.
The default mode is By Source. When there are multiple client requests, they can be distributed
(persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose Auto in Load Distribution, the weights
will be automatically adjusted according to each WAN’s Downstream Bandwidth which is specified in
the WAN settings page). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by
using the sliders.
Algorithm: Enforced
This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This
setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced.
Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health check
status of the WAN connection. Outbound traffic can be also be enforced to go through a specified
