2.3 Outbound Traffic
This section outlines some of the ways you can use MH-1000 to manage outbound traffic.
2.3.1 Outbound Fail Over
Configuring MH-1000 for Outbound Fail Over allows you to ensure that outgoing traffic is uninterrupted.
In the above example, PC 1 (IP_192.168.2.2) and PC 2 (IP_192.168.2.3) are connected to the Internet via
WAN1 (IP_230.100.100.1) on MH-1000. Should WAN1 fail, Outbound Fail Over tells MH-1000 to reroute
outgoing traffic to WAN2 (IP_213.10.10.2). Configuring your MH-1000 for Outbound Fail Over provides a
more reliable connection for your outgoing traffic.
Please refer to appendix D for example settings.
2.3.2 Outbound Load Balancing
Outbound Load Balancing allows MH-1000 to intelligently manage outbound traffic based on the amount of
load of each WAN connection.
