4.1.4 WAN2 & Failover
WAN2 can be configured to one of the following types: None, Static IP Address, Dynamic IP Address and
Bonding. None means that WAN2 Port is disabled. Bonding is shown as one of the option when WAN1 is set to
Static IP Address.
•
WAN2 Port:
None: No WAN2 connection or WAN2 connection is disabled
Static IP Address, Dynamic IP Address: Please refer to WAN1 Port settings
Bonding: When enabled, it allows administrators to increase the uplink bandwidth capacity
beyond the capacity of one single WAN port (WAN1 and WAN2 links are combined and outgoing
packets are transmitted in a specific round-robin order)
Note: The option of Bonding is only available when WAN1 is set to Static IP Address.

Connection Detection & WAN Failover:
Probe Target: To verify the connection to the Internet, the system keeps up to three target URLs.
These URLs are used for the system as the detect targets of WAN Failover and Warning of
Internet Disconnection. At least one URL is required for the system to verify the Internet
connection.
WAN Failover: When enabled and WAN1 connection fails, the traffic will be routed to WAN2
automatically. If the Fallback to WAN1 when possible function is enabled, and WAN1
connection is recovered, the routed traffic will return to WAN1.
Warning of Internet Disconnection: When enabled, the reminding message will appear on
clients' screens when Internet connection is down.
