USER MANUAL
Peplink Balance Series
New Custom Rule Settings
This setting specifies the name of the outbound traffic rule.
Enable
This setting specifies whether the outbound traffic rule takes effect.
With an Enable value of Yes, the rule takes effect: traffic is matched, and actions are
taken,by Peplink Balance based on the other parameters of the rule.
With an Enable value of No, the rule does not take effect: PeplinkBalance disregards the
other parameters of the rule.
Source
This setting specifies the source IP Address, IP Network or MAC Address for traffic that
matches the rule.
Destination
This setting specifies the destination IP Address or IP Network or Domain Name for traffic
that matches the rule.
If Domain Name is chosen and a domain name, such as foobar.com, is entered, any
outgoing accesses to foobar.com and *.foobar.com will match this criterion. You may enter
a wildcard (.*) at the end of a domain name to match any host with a name having the
domain name in the middle. If you enter foobar.*, for example, then www.foobar.com,
www.foobar.co.jp
, or foobar.co.uk will also match. Placing wildcards in any other position is
not supported.
NOTE: if a server has one Internet IP address and multiple server names, and if one of the
names is defined here, then accesses to any one of the server names will also match this
rule.
Protocol and Port
This setting specifies the IP Protocol and Port of traffic that matches this rule. You may
select some common protocol from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu.
Algorithm
This setting specifies the behavior of Peplink Balance for the custom rule.
One of the following values can be selected:
Weighted Balance
Persistence
Enforced
Priority
Overflow
Least Used (not applicable to Balance 20/30)
Lowest Latency (not applicable to Balance 20/30)
The upcoming sections present the details of the listed algorithms.
Terminate Sessions
on Link Recovery
This setting specifies whether to terminate existing IP sessions on a less preferred WAN
connection in the event that a more preferred WAN connection is recovered. This setting is
applicable to the Algorithms: Weighted,Persistence and Priority.
By default, this is disabled. In this case, all existing IP sessions will not be terminated or
affected when any other WAN connection is recovered. If it is set to enabled, existing IP
sessions may be terminated when another WAN connection is recovered such that only the
preferred healthy WAN connection(s) are used at any point in time.
