In this example, we will examine Load Balancing rules and policies and we will set up rules where all traffic from one LAN port will be going through the Mobile interface and all the traffic from the second port will be going through the Wireless WAN/Wired WAN or the Second Sim card (if used with RUTX12).

===Testing the configuration via TCPDUMP===

===Testing the configuration via TCPDUMP===

The simplest way to test the configuration via '''tcpdump''' would be to use two commands from the same device. The first one would be ping to google DNS (from 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.3.1 IPs) and the other would be to '''tcpdump''' the correct interface. I will be using the setup of '''Configurating Device with one modem''' for this example, the '''RUTX12''' testing is almost identical.

We will do this by opening two instances of your device's '''CLI/SSH''', to access it, login to one of the routers' WebUI and navigate to '''Services → CLI'''. Log in to CLI with the user name '''root''' and the router's admin password (Open two instances of CLI).

In the first instance, we will let the ping command which will send ICMP requests to '''8.8.8.8''' from '''192.168.3.1(VLAN IP)'''. The command for this will be used: '''''ping -I 192.168.3.1 8.8.8.8'''''

In the first instance, we will let the ping command which will send ICMP requests to '''8.8.8.8''' from '''192.168.1.1(LAN IP)'''. The command for this will be used: '''''ping -I 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8'''''

 

 

 

On the second instance, we will run TCPDUMP on interface '''wlan0''' to capture if packets are coming through '''WiFi WAN'''. The command for this will be used: '''''tcpdump -i wlan0'''''

You should see in the '''tcpdump''' output that we have ICMP requests going out of the '''WWAN0''' interface, this means that the configuration is working, and '''192.168.1.1/24''' interface traffic goes through the correct interface, you should also test this on another SIM card(interface).

You can also stop the ping on your device and you should see that '''ICMP''' requests stop appearing in the '''tcpdump''' output.
