25.4.1 Outbound Load Balancer

Step 1. Make Firewall rules the same
Since the traffic will be intelligently load-balanced
among the WAN links, the Firewall settings for all
WAN links should be set to the same settings. For
example, you have to make sure that all
LAN1-to-WAN1 Firewall rules are the same as
those in LAN1-to-WAN2, LAN2-to-WAN1, and
LAN2-to-WAN2 rules. Otherwise, the traffic may
be blocked by the firewall rules accidentally due
to the load balancing decision.
Step 2. Enable outbound WAN load
balancer
Check the Enable
Outbound
Balancer checkbox, click the Apply.
Note that the priority among the policy route, static route, and WAN load balancer are explicitly shown as Policy Route >
Static/Default Route > WAN Load Balancer. If there are conflicted settings among these three settings, the route will be chosen
according to the priority.
