25.4 Steps

25.4.1 Outbound Load Balancer

Step 1. Make Firewall rules the same

Since the traffic will be intelligently load-balanced

among the WAN links, the Firewall settings for all

WAN links should be set to the same settings. For

example, you have to make sure that all

LAN1-to-WAN1 Firewall rules are the same as

those in LAN1-to-WAN2, LAN2-to-WAN1, and

LAN2-to-WAN2 rules. Otherwise, the traffic may

be blocked by the firewall rules accidentally due

to the load balancing decision.

ADVANCED SETTINGS > Firewall > Edit Rules

Step 2. Enable outbound WAN load

balancer

Check the Enable Outbound WAN Load

Balancer checkbox, click the Apply.

ADVANCED SETTINGS > Load Balancer > Outbound

Note that the priority among the policy route, static route, and WAN load balancer are explicitly shown as Policy Route >

Static/Default Route > WAN Load Balancer. If there are conflicted settings among these three settings, the route will be chosen

according to the priority.
