WAN Connection Priority WAN Connection Select the appropriate WAN connection from the drop-down menu. 14 Outbound Policy Management Pepwave routers can flexibly manage and load balance outbound traffic among WAN connections. Important Note Outbound policy is applied only when more than one WAN connection is active .
14.1 Outbound Policy Outbound policies for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at Network>Outbound Policy> or Advanced>PepVPN>Outbound Policy. There are three main selections for the outbound traffic policy: ● High Application Compatibility ● Normal Application Compatibility ● Custom Note that some Pepwave routers provide only the Send All Traffic To setting here. See Section 12.1 for details.
http://youtu.be/rKH4AS_bQnE 14.2 Custom Rules for Outbound Policy Click in the Outbound Policy form. Choose Custom and press the Save button. 14.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted Balance. https://www.peplink.
The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WAN’s weight. For example, with the following weight settings: ● Ethernet WAN1: 10 ● Ethernet WAN2: 10 ● Wi-Fi WAN: 10 ● Cellular 1: 10 ● Cellular 2: 10 ● USB: 10 Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10). Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%.
distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many ebanking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client computer’s Internet IP address changes mid-session. In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The security concern is that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an unauthorized intrusion attempt.
which is specified in the WAN settings page). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by using the sliders. 14.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced. Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health check status of the WAN connection. Starting from Firmware 5.
Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services. 14.2.5 Algorithm: Overflow The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that has the highest priority and is not in full load. When this connection gets saturated, new sessions will be routed to the next healthy WAN connection that is not in full load. Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing traffic.
in Connection and has the lowest latency. Latency checking packets are issued periodically to a nearby router of each WAN connection to determine its latency value. The latency of a WAN is the packet round trip time of the WAN connection. Additional network usage may be incurred as a result. Tip The roundtrip time of a 6M down/640k uplink can be higher than that of a 2M down/2M up link because the overall round trip time is lengthened by its slower upload bandwidth, despite its higher downlink speed.
router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port Forwarding. To define a new service, click Add Service. Port Forwarding Settings Enable This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable is checked, the inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule.
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be configured to behave in one of the following manners: Any Port, Single Port, Port Range, Port Map, and Range Mapping Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured servers.
15.1.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes automated. When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded. Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP.
NAT Mapping Settings LAN Client(s) NAT mapping rules can be defined for a single LAN IP Address, an IP Range, or an IP Network. Address This refers to the LAN host’s private IP address. The system maps this address to a number of public IP addresses (specified below) in order to facilitate inbound and outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Address is selected. Range The IP range is a contiguous group of private IP addresses used by the LAN host.
or IP forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to one NAT mapping only. Outbound Mappings This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP connection is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN's IP addresses (for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for better application compatibility).
Add / Edit User Group From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the client(s) by an IP Address or a Subnet. If IP Address is selected, enter a Subnet / IP Address name defined in DHCP reservation table or a LAN client's IP address. If Subnet is selected, enter a subnet address and specify its subnet mask. Group This field is to define which User Group the specified subnet / IP address belongs to.
17.3 Application 17.3.1 Application Prioritization On many Pepwave routers, you can choose whether to apply the same prioritization settings to all user groups or customize the settings for each group. Three application priority levels can be set: ↑High,━ Normal, and↓Low. Pepwave routers can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet content. Select an application by choosing a supported application, or by defining a custom application manually.
17.3.3 DSL/Cable Optimization DSL/cable-based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher download bandwidth. When a DSL/cable circuit's uplink is congested, the download bandwidth will be affected. Users will not be able to download data at full speed until the uplink becomes less congested. DSL/Cable Optimization can relieve such an issue. When it is enabled, the download speed will become less affected by the upload traffic. By default, this feature is enabled.
