How do I enable/setup Link1 Primary?

  1. Navigate to SWAN > TEAM LINKS
  2. Under the LINK1 section:

    • LINK PATH – Select the INTERFACE the user wants to assign to LINK 1 (ex. WAN,WAN2,4G LTE,MyFi2G,MyFi5G)
    • Description – used to be edited accordingly and give the user a hint of the ISP used for the LINK1 Path (ex. WAN – Spectrum)
    • LINK ACTION – select whether the LINK should be a PRIMARY LINK or BACKUP LINK. The user also has an option to DISABLE the link.
    • LINK TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION BY WEIGHT – edit as user desires. This assigns the traffic weight to pass on the link.
    • QOS RATE LIMIT – used to limit the OUTBOUND BANDWIDTH of the Link.
    • ESTIMATE UPLOAD SPEED – This action will disable Link1 QoS, do a Speedtest on the Link and give an upload speed result which can be used for the QOS RATE LIMIT.
  3. Under the Steering Tab, the user can add the Urls, Ports, etc. that is desired to be steered to LINK1 specifically.
  4. Under the probe tab:
    • LINK QUALITY – This is the ‘PROFILE’ that sets the sensitivity of the Link for failover. Usually used to desensitize the probes if the site has Internet connection issues.
    • FLAP CHECK – when failed over to BACKUP LINK, the device will check for LINK 1 connectivity. If LINK1 passes the check for duration set in FLAP CHECK, the device will failback to the PRIMARY LINK.
    • TARGET – IP used to send probe packets.
    • FALSE CHECK BW – this prevents failover false positives during high bandwidth usage. Set in K in kbits/sec or M mbits/sec (ex. 1M IN and 100K OUT).
  5. Click on SAVE AND APPLY at the bottom of the page to save changes made.
