Understanding the Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks

Generally, five steps are required to complete the Internet connection of your UTM:
1. Configure the Internet connections to your ISP(s). During this phase, you connect to your
ISPs. You can also program the WAN traffic meters at this time if desired. See
the Internet Connections" on page
2. Configure the WAN mode (required for operation of the dual-WAN port models). For all
models, select either NAT or classical routing. For the dual-WAN port models only, select
either dedicated (single WAN) mode, auto-rollover mode, or load balancing mode. For load
balancing, you can also select any necessary protocol bindings. See
Mode (Required for Dual-WAN Port Models Only)" on page
3. Configure secondary WAN addresses on the WAN ports (optional). Configure aliases for
each WAN port. See
