What about the WAN Interface (1)

With the rapid development of network technology and network applications, more and more enterprises began to find that it is difficult to use an Internet egress to meet the actual needs. As a result, vrouters with multiple Wan interfaces emerged, many enterprises are eager to purchase devices with multiple WAN ports. The result of blindly purchasing the devices will be the same as that of the reader, which has a lot of questions about the use of the purchased devices.

To help you solve this problem, we will first talk about the features of the Multi-Wan port, and then explain the application of these features through actual configuration. Generally, vrouters with multiple WAN interfaces have advantages over single WAN ports in the following aspects. First, the multi-wan interface provides multi-line redundancy to ensure that when one line fails, the other line can take over all Internet access tasks immediately; secondly, for multi-line problems, multiple WAN interfaces can connect each WAN port to a single line, which greatly improves the network transmission speed and exponentially increases the Intranet access to the Internet; finally, we can use the multi-wan interface to achieve more intelligent and practical management of data packets, and allocate routes for data packets to improve network transmission efficiency.

Next, we will give you a brief introduction to the advantages of the Multi-Wan port equipment mentioned above.

When we connect multiple lines to multiple WAN interfaces of the device, we can see the connection status from the system status. We have enabled connections on both the WAN2 and WAN4 interfaces. (1)

When we connect to only one line, the network transmission speed is 5.71 MB/S, which is the speed at which the server is accessed from the Intranet through multiple WAN Interface Devices. (2)

After we connect another line to a multi-wan interface device, we have successfully implemented a multi-Wan port connection. In this case, we access the same Intranet server again, in actual use, we can find that the speed of accessing the server from the Intranet through multiple wan interface devices is significantly higher than before, and now it can reach 10.62 Mb/s, which is basically twice as fast as before, this is a major benefit of Multi-Wan port devices that can increase the transmission speed.
