Define WAN Link Interfaces

Note: To perform this task from PolicyCenter, you must first select a configuration from the Editing Configuration drop-down list at the top of the page.

To identify the WAN link interfaces on each router:

1. Make sure you have defined the router. The router's name and settings should be listed in the High Availability Configuration table on the High Availability setup page.  show screen

2. In the High Availability Configuration table, click the router's name.

3. Click add interface. The Add Interface screen appears.  show screen

4. Define the interface:

5. Click add interface. The interface settings are listed in the Interfaces table.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 above for each interface on the router.

7. When you're finished adding interfaces for the router, click Go to High Availability. The settings for each interface are listed in the High Availability Configuration table.

8. To define interfaces for other routers, repeat all the steps above.

Adding an interface will increase the router’s available bandwidth unless you have set override values for the router. The lowest value (override versus sum of interfaces) takes precedence. For example, suppose a router has two 400K interfaces and you have set an override of 600K. The override takes precedence because it is the less than the sum of the interfaces (800K). Be aware that if you add another 200K interface, the override will continue to take precedence (in other words, the router’s available bandwidth will still be 600K), even though it may not be appropriate. Make sure that you adjust your override after adding a new interface.
