NOTE: Typically there is no need to change this. Improper MTU

configuration may lead to poor network performance.

NOTE: The configuration methods for the WAN2 interface are the same as

for WAN1.

5.3.3 Dual-WAN Policy
This function allows you to choose the Dual-WAN Policy that best meets your needs.
Your XBR-2300 has three Active Policies: Automatic Load Balancing, for allowing each
client access to the maximum available data rate; Automatic Failover, for redundant
links; and IP Groups, for controlling how much bandwidth is given to each client.

Automatic Load Balancing: The system searches for the WAN port with the lowest
usage and automatically distributes load accordingly. This load balancing mode
automatically manages flow distribution and bandwidth overlap.

NOTE: The system default mode is Automatic Load Balancing.

NOTE: When using two connections for Automatic Load Balancing we

recommend setting the upstream and downstream values
for each WAN port.

Automatic Failover: Users can choose a WAN port (WAN1 or WAN2), as the primary
connection, while making the other port a backup connection. The XBR-2300 will
automatically switch to the backup connection when the primary connection has an
interruption in service. This change over is subject to a short delay of approximately
40 seconds on primary connection failure.
