LABEL DESCRIPTION
Load Balancing This field is available if you selected to use the Least Load First or Spillover method.
Index(es)
Select Outbound, Inbound, or Outbound + Inbound to set the traffic to which the
ZyWALL/USG applies the load balancing method. Outbound means the traffic traveling
from an internal interface (ex. LAN) to an external interface (ex. WAN). Inbound means
the opposite.
The table lists the trunk's member interfaces. You can add, edit, remove, or move
entries for user configured trunks.
Add Click this to add a member interface to the trunk. Select an interface and click Add to
add a new member interface after the selected member interface.
Edit Select an entry and click Edit to modify the entry's settings.
Remove To remove a member interface, select it and click Remove. The ZyWALL/USG confirms
you want to remove it before doing so.
Move To move an interface to a different number in the list, click the Move icon. In the field
that appears, specify the number to which you want to move the interface.
# This column displays the priorities of the group's interfaces. The order of the interfaces
in the list is important since they are used in the order they are listed.
Member Click this table cell and select an interface to be a group member.
If you select an interface that is part of another Ethernet interface, the ZyWALL/USG
does not send traffic through the interface as part of the trunk. For example, if you
have physical port 5 in the ge2 representative interface, you must select interface ge2
in order to send traffic through port 5 as part of the trunk. If you select interface ge5 as
a member here, the ZyWALL/USG will not send traffic through port 5 as part of the
trunk.
Mode Click this table cell and select Active to have the ZyWALL/USG always attempt to use
this connection.
Select Passive to have the ZyWALL/USG only use this connection when all of the
connections set to active are down. You can only set one of a group's interfaces to
passive mode.
Weight This field displays with the weighted round robin load balancing algorithm. Specify the
weight (1~10) for the interface. The weights of the different member interfaces form a
ratio. This ratio determines how much traffic the ZyWALL/USG assigns to each member
interface. The higher an interface's weight is (relative to the weights of the interfaces),
the more sessions that interface should handle.
Ingress Bandwidth This is reserved for future use.
This field displays with the least load first load balancing algorithm. It displays the
maximum number of kilobits of data the ZyWALL/USG is to allow to come in through
the interface per second.
Note: You can configure the bandwidth of an interface in the corresponding interface edit
Egress Bandwidth This field displays with the least load first or spillover load balancing algorithm. It
displays the maximum number of kilobits of data the ZyWALL/USG is to send out
through the interface per second.
Note: You can configure the bandwidth of an interface in the corresponding interface edit
