Multiple WAN Port Models for Increased Reliability or
Outbound Load Balancing
The UTM product line offers models with two broadband WAN ports. The second WAN port
allows you to connect a second broadband Internet line that can be configured on a mutually
exclusive basis to:
• Provide backup and rollover if one line is inoperable, ensuring that you are never
disconnected.
• Load balance, or use both Internet lines simultaneously for outgoing traffic. A UTM with
dual WAN ports balances users between the two lines for maximum bandwidth efficiency.
See Appendix C, Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports (Multiple WAN Port Models Only)
the planning factors to consider when implementing the following capabilities with dual WAN
port gateways:
• Single or multiple exposed hosts
• Virtual private networks
