this chapter does also apply to the WAN interfaces of the UTM9S.
Generally, five steps are required to complete the WAN Internet connection of your UTM.

Complete these steps:
1. Configure the Internet connections to your ISPs. During this phase, you connect to
your ISPs. See
page 67 or Manually Configure the Internet Connection
2. Configure the WAN mode (required for multiple WAN port models). For all models,
select either NAT or classical routing. For the multiple WAN port models, select dedicated
(single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load balancing, you
can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See
3. Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN ports (optional). Configure aliases
for each WAN port. See
4. Configure Dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (optional). Configure your fully qualified
domain names during this phase (if required). See
5. Configure the WAN options (optional). Optionally, you can enable each WAN port to
respond to a ping, and you can change the factory default MTU size and port speed.
However, these are advanced features, and changing them is not usually required. See
Configure Advanced WAN Options
Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter.
