System Management
Dual WAN Connections
NOTE
Cisco RV320/RV325 Administration Guide
System Management configures advanced settings, such as diagnostic tools, and
performs tasks such as firmware upgrades, backups, and device reboots.
Use this feature to configure the settings for your Internet connections, if you are
using more than one WAN interface.
To configure load balancing choose one of the following modes to manage your
WAN connections:
•
Smart Link Backup—Ensures continuous connectivity. If the primary WAN
connection is unavailable, the backup WAN connection is used. Choose the
primary WAN interface from the drop-down menu.
•
Load Balance—Use both WAN connections simultaneously to increase the
available bandwidth. The router balances the traffic between the two
interfaces in a weighted round-robin method.
DNS queries are not subject to load balancing.
To configure Interface Settings, select the WAN Interface and click Edit. The
settings window for the interface appears. Enter the following parameters:
Max Bandwidth Provided by ISP
Enter the maximum bandwidth settings as specified by your ISP. If the bandwidth
exceeds the specified number, the router uses another WAN interface for the next
connection.
•
Upstream—Maximum upstream bandwidth provided by your ISP. The
default is 10000 kbs. The maximum is 1000000 kbs.
•
Downstream—Maximum downstream bandwidth provided by your ISP.
The default is 10000 kbs.
