Configuring a connection to the outside network 51 Configuring advanced WAN/ISP settings Table 3-4 Mode Backup High availability modes Description WAN port only passes traffic if the other WAN port is not functioning. By default, WAN1 is set to Normal and WAN2 is set to Off. Bandwidth aggregation lets you combine the amount of traffic that goes over WAN1 and WAN2 to increase the amount of bandwidth your clients can use. For WAN data transfer, data aggregation can provide up to double the WAN throughput, depending on traffic characteristics. To configure high availability See "Main Setup tab field descriptions" on page 164. 1 In the SGMI, in the left pane, click WAN/ISP. 2 On the Main Setup tab, do the following: ■ To configure the WAN1 port, under WAN1, select a high availability mode. ■ To configure the WAN2 port, under WAN2, select a high availability mode. 3 Click Save. Load balancing Symantec Gateway Security 300 Series model 360 and 360R appliances each have two WAN ports. On these appliances, you can configure high availability and load balancing (HA/LB) between the two WAN ports. You can set the percentage of packets that is sent over WAN1 or WAN2. You enter a percentage only for WAN1; the remainder of the packets are then sent over WAN2. If you have a slower connection, use a lower value for that WAN port for best performance. To configure load balancing See "Advanced tab field descriptions" on page 175. 1 In the SGMI, in the left pane, click WAN/ISP. 2 On the Advanced tab, under Load Balancing, in the WAN 1 Load text box, type the percentage of traffic to pass through WAN 1. 3 Click Save.
