Configuring 2 WAN

gtsolid · Feb 9, 2016

hello
from yesterday i have 2 WAN in my office (because 1 was too slow...)
now i bought a FW with load balancing in order to make them work together.

i would to know what tricks i have to adopt in order to make the line working well.
for example have i to configure the 2 LAN with 2 differente IP class? such as 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x

If the box containing the 2 WAN ports also has multiple LAN ports and is able to route between them (important) then sure you can have separate subnets, but this is not obligatory. 2 WAN to 1 LAN is perfectly fine.

is it better to start configuring routers or firewall? do i need some static IP?

gtsolid :

It depends whether these 2 are on 1 box or separate boxes.

You asking this question suggests to me you are not clear on you end-goals. Dual-WAN should be straightforward as long as you are not running any Internet server.

If you are running Internet servers(s) consult the manual see how load balancing/failsafe (two desirable features of dual-WAN) is accomplished.

do i need some static IP?

Most likely if you are running server(s).

Tip: This is more involved than doing a firmware update, may have to pay for professional help.

now the server is attached to the main switch.
when the fw will be running, i would to connect server in DMZ. maybe will i lose any configuration such as dhch, remote bck, ftp....?
