For multiple active interfaces with the same metric, Weight is used to load balance
traffic to the interfaces.
iii. Set the Management priority. This determines which interface will have priority for
central management activity. The interface with the highest number will be used.
iv. Set the MTU.
v. For Use DNS, select one of the following:
n
Always: DNS will always be used for this WAN; when multiple interfaces have
the same DNS server, the interface with the lowest metric will be used for DNS
requests.

interface when the interface is the primary route.
n
Never: Never use DNS servers for this interface.
vi. Enable DHCP Hostname to instruct the IX30 device to include the device's system
