WAN AFFINITY

WAN Affinity rules allow you to manage traffic in
your network so that particular bandwidth uses are
associated with particular WAN sources. This allows
you to prioritize bandwidth.
EXAMPLE: You could specify that your guest LAN is
only associated with your Ethernet connection with
no failover. Then if your Ethernet connection goes
down and the embedded modem connects for failover for your primary LAN, your guest LAN will not take
bandwidth from your primary LAN, saving you money.
Click Add to open the WAN Affinity Policy Editor and create a new WAN Affinity rule.
Name: Give a name for your rule that is meaningful to
you.
DSCP (DiffServ): Differentiated Services Code Point
is the successor to TOS (Type of Service). Use this
field to select traffic based on the DSCP header in
each IP packet. This field is sometimes set by latency
sensitive equipment such as VoIP phones. If you know
specific DSCP values, you can input one here.
DSCP Negate: When checked this rule will match on
any packet that does NOT match the DSCP field.
Protocol: Select from the dropdown list to specify the
protocol for a particular data use. Otherwise, leave
"Any" selected.
• Any
• ICMP
• TCP
• UDP
• GRE
• ESP
• SCTP
Source IP Address, Source Netmask, Destination IP Address, and Destination Netmask: Specify an IP address
or range of IP addresses by combining an IP address with a netmask for either "source" or "destination" (or
both). Source vs. destination is defined by traffic flow. Leave these blank to include all IP addresses (such as if
your rule is defined by a particular port instead).
EXAMPLE: If you want to associate this rule with your guest LAN, you could input the IP address and netmask
for the guest LAN here (leaving the last slot "0" to allow for any user attached to the guest network):
• Source IP Address: 192.168.10.0
• Source Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Failover: (Default: Selected.) When this is selected and traffic from the chosen WAN device for this rule is
interrupted, the router will fail over to another available WAN device. Deselect this option to restrict this
traffic to only the selected WAN interface.
