Create Outbound Multi-Link elements
Outbound Multi-Link elements group together NetLinks as a single entity and set options for load balancing.
Before you begin
Configure routing with at least two NetLinks.
To use the round trip time NetLink selection method for load balancing, you must configure the probing settings in the Static NetLink or Dynamic NetLink properties.
You can create multiple Outbound Multi-Link elements, and each NetLink can belong to more than one Outbound Multi-Link element at the same time.
- Which NetLinks are included
- The load-balancing method for determining which link is selected for each new outbound connection
- Whether each NetLink in the Outbound Multi-Link element is an Active or Standby NetLink
The Outbound Multi-Link elements you create do not work on their own; you must use them in the Firewall Policy’s NAT rules to select traffic for outbound load balancing.
