ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual
Protocol binding
Protocol binding addresses two issues:
• Segregation of traffic between links that are not of the same speed.
High volume traffic can be routed through the WAN port connected to a high speed link and
low volume traffic can be routed through the WAN port connected to the low speed link.
• Continuity of source IP address for secure connections.
Some services, particularly HTTPS, will cease responding when a client's source IP address
changes shortly after a session has been established.
To configure the dual WAN ports for load balancing with protocol binding:
1. Select Network >WAN Settings from the menu, and click the WAN Mode tab.
2. In the Port Mode section, select Load Balancing.
3. Click view protocol bindings (if required). The WAN1 Protocol Bindings screen is displayed.
