Load balancing lets users create rules that divide traffic between different interfaces. This chapter is an Overview of the Load Balancing function in RUT routers.

The '''Policies''' section contains Load Balancing policies. One default configuration named '''Balanced''' is already in place. You can edit this default policy or create a new custom one.

To configure a Policy, click the '''Edit''' button located next to it, after which you will be redirected to the Configuration window.

As you can see from the image above, the configuration is very simple. You can assign ratio values to WAN interfaces. The ratio values represent a percentage of load that will go through an interface. For example, in the default configuration 3 parts of traffic will go through the Mobile interface and 2 parts will go through the Wired interface, which means roughly 60% (3/5) of data will be transferred through Mobile, 40% (2/5) through Wired. If the ratios would be different, say Mobile: 5, Wired: 10, then 33% (5/15) of data would be transferred through Mobile, and 66% (10/15) would go through Wired.
 
==Rule==
 
The '''Rule''' section contains '''Load Balancing''' rules. One default rule named default_rule is already in place. You can edit it or create a new custom one.

If you want to add a new rule, simply write a name, press '''Add''' button and then you will be redirected to the '''Configuration window'''. In order to configure an existing rule, click the '''Edit''' button located next to it, after which you will be redirected to the '''Configuration window'''.

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT2XX_R_00.01.14.7.

Summary

Load Balancing provides the possibility create policies and rules that divide traffic between different interfaces.

This chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the Load Balancing page for RUT240 devices.

Policies

The Policies section contains Load Balancing policies. One default policy named Balanced is already in place. You can edit this default policy or create a new custom policy.

To configure a Policy, click the Edit button located next to it, after which you will be redirected to the Configuration window.

As you can see from the image above, the configuration is very simple. You can assign ratio values to WAN interfaces. The ratio values represent a percentage of load that will go through an interface. For example, in the default configuration 3 parts of traffic will go through the Mobile interface and 2 parts will go through the Wired interface, which means roughly 60% (3/5) of data will be transferred through Mobile, 40% (2/5) through Wired. If the ratios would be different, say Mobile: 5, Wired: 10, then 33% (5/15) of data would be transferred through Mobile, and 66% (10/15) would go through Wired.

Rules

The Rules section contains Load Balancing rules. One default rule named default_rule is already in place. You can edit this default rule or create a new custom rule.

To configure a rule, click the Edit button located next to it, after which you will be redirected to the Configuration window.

field name value description
Source address ip; Default: none Source IP address. Can be specified in CIDR notation (eg "192.168.1.0/24" without quotes).
Source port number; Default: none Source port number. May be entered as a single or multiple ports (eg "21" or "80,443" without quotes).
Destination address ip; Default: 0.0.0.0/0 Destination IP address. Can be specified in CIDR notation (eg "192.168.1.0/24" without quotes).
Destination port number; Default: none Destination port number. May be entered as a single or multiple ports (eg "21" or "80,443" without quotes).
Protocol all | ip | #hopopt | icmp | igmp | ggp | ipencap | st | tcp | egp | igp | pup | udp | hmp | xns | rdp | iso | xtp | ddp | idpr | ipv6 | ipv6 | ipv6 | idrp | rsvp | gre | esp | ah | skip | ipv6 | ipv6 | ipv6 | rspf | vmtp | eigrp | ospf | ax | ipip | etherip | encap | pim | ipcomp | vrrp | l2tp | isis | sctp | fc; Default: all Which protocol to use.
Policy assigned policies; Default: balanced Policy to use for this rule.
