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).

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 -n'''''
On the second instance, we will run TCPDUMP on interface '''wwan0''' to capture if packets are coming through '''Mobile WAN'''. The command for this will be used: '''''tcpdump -i wwan0 icmp -n'''''
We will also only look at ICMP requests since the Mobile will have a lot of different packets coming in and out.

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.
