You can choose to trigger the Load Balancing / Failover feature either by the link status of the
port(s) or by the new active Interface Monitoring feature.
When either Interface Monitoring or link status is used, WAN ports will be characterized as
either Available or Unavailable. If Load Balancing is configured to use Interface Monitoring
but Monitoring itself is not configured, the status will be Unknown.
Using Link state will provide a faster response, but using Interface Monitoring will assure that
there is internet access through that port before assigning subscribers to it.
Run Time Status gives a useful summary of all Load Balancing settings and subscriber
distribution.
