Smart WAN
, you can congure two dened outward-facing internet interfaces
(e.g. PPPoE and WAN). You can choose either mode to determine their roles in network connectivity:
•
Failover
: When one of the interfaces is down, the other will be responsible for all the network connectivity to
ensure stable connection at all times.
•
Load Balancing + Failover
: When both interfaces are well-functioning, this mode allows you to distribute
network trafc to the interfaces for optimal network trafc ow; when one of the interfaces is down, the other
will be responsible for all the network connectivity to ensure stable connection at all times.
Smart WAN also allows you to regulate network trafc by setting up policy routes for specic devices. Such
devices will be able to access the Internet and receive Internet trafc only through the dened interface.
