ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance VPN Telecommuter: Dual-Gateway WAN Ports for Load Balancing In a dual WAN port load balancing gateway configuration, the remote VPN client initiates the VPN tunnel with the appropriate gateway WAN port (that is, port WAN1 or WAN2 as necessary to balance the loads of the two gateway WAN ports) because the IP address of the remote NAT router is not known in advance. The selected gateway WAN port needs to function as the responder. Figure 377. The IP addresses of the gateway WAN ports can be either fixed or dynamic. If an IP address is dynamic, you need to use an FQDN. If an IP address is fixed, an FQDN is optional. Network Planning for Dual WAN Ports (Multiple WAN Port Models Only) 637

VPN Telecommuter: Dual-Gateway WAN Ports for Load Balancing

In a dual WAN port load balancing gateway configuration, the remote VPN client initiates the

VPN tunnel with the appropriate gateway WAN port (that is, port WAN1 or WAN2 as

necessary to balance the loads of the two gateway WAN ports) because the IP address of

the remote NAT router is not known in advance. The selected gateway WAN port needs to

function as the responder.

Figure 377.

The IP addresses of the gateway WAN ports can be either fixed or dynamic. If an IP address

is dynamic, you need to use an FQDN. If an IP address is fixed, an FQDN is optional.
