Configuring advanced WAN/ISP settings

You can set advanced connectivity settings such as a DNS gateway, high availability/load balancing (HA/
LB), SMTP binding, and failover. You can also set optional network settings, which identify the appliance to
a network.
Note: Models 420 and 440 appliances have one WAN port, and do not support high availability, load
balancing, and bandwidth aggregation.

High availability

On dual-WAN port appliances, you can configure each WAN port to failover to the other in the case of line
connection failure.
You can configure high availability for each WAN port in one of three ways: Normal, Off, or Backup.
3-4 describes each mode.
