Cisco RV016 not so Intelligent Balancer

Hi All,
We have a problem with our Cisco RV016 Routers (we have 12 of them).
Somehow the routers keep switching randomly between internet connections. (2-3 connections per router)
We want to completely disable load balancing and just use the 2nd to 3th internet connection as a failover (when 1st connection is down)
Load balancing breaks the clients session because the ip's switch mid session.
Does anyone have a solution to the problem?
We can't deploy them like this and our distributor does not want to take the unopened boxes with routers back.
We use:
Firmware Version : v4.2.2.08 (Apr 26 2013 19:12:26)
Regards,

Hi Wouter,
We had the same issue. What I did is create a rule in [System Management] - [Dual WAN] - [WAN 1 --> configuration].
The following rules are in my system:
All Traffic [TCP&UDP/1~65535]->192.168.1.1~192.168.1.254(0.0.0.0~0.0.0.0)WAN1 [Enabled]
All Traffic [TCP&UDP/1~65535]->192.168.1.1~192.168.1.254(0.0.0.0~0.0.0.0)WAN2 [Enabled]
The rest of the settings:
Enable Network Service Detection: Yes
Retry count: 5
Retry timeout: 30 seconds
When Fail: Keep the system log and remove the connection
Only [Remote Host] checked with value 8.8.8.8
Especially the setting with the remote host set to 8.8.8.8 is important.
Of course it's possible to set this to the IP address of the modem, but this only works if the complete modem is switched off. To failover when the internet connection is down, setting it to 8.8.8.8 works.
Hope this helps you.

  • Cisco RV016 Failover & Load Balance Multi WAN Issue

    Hi,
    I think the RV016 is the correct device to buy for our small building but I am a little confused from the manual whether my intended configuration is possible, so if you could confirm if this is possible I would appreciate it.
    We have a leased line as our primary connection (lets call it WAN1). If this connection is available I don't want to load balance on any other WAN.
    We have 2 identical netgear 4G devices (call them WAN 2 and WAN 3). If the leased line is unavailable, I would like to then load balance these two WAN connections.
    I then have a final connection, WAN4 as a slow adsl backup line. I do not know at present whether I want to load balance this in a WAN1 failure or just have it as a backup to WAN2 and WAN3 (WAN2 and WAN3 have a 20gb data limit each on their monthly contract allowance, if the leased line is down for more than a couple of days, which has unfortunately happened before, then we will hit this limit and then need to face either extremely expensive data charges or just use the ADSL alone)
    Anyway, bottom line is under normal conditions I don't want to load balance. I only want to load balance WAN2 and WAN3 in the case of WAN1 failure.
    Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, is there any other similar device which would suit?
    Thank you
    Ben

    Hi Bencarroll01,
    With RV016 you can achieve what you need.
    RV016 support up to 7 WAN connection, and there is two working mode 
    Intelligent Balancer (Auto Mode): Select this option to balance traffic between all interfaces to increase the available bandwidth. The router balances the traffic between the interfaces in a weighted round robin fashion.
    IP Group (By Users): Select this option to group traffic on each WAN interface by priority levels or classes of service (CoS). With this feature, you can ensure bandwidth and higher priority for the specified services and users. All traffic that is not added to the IP Group uses Intelligent Balancer mode. To specify the services and users, click the Edit icon for the WAN interface and then add protocol binding entries for each service, IP address, or range of IP addresses.
    For our case we need to have RV016 configured with IP Group(By User) so in this case we can configure Protocol binding which we can specify and force all the traffic coming from any IP address from the local network going outside through WAN1. and other WAN connection they always UP but not traffic passing through them
    now if WAN1 is Down, immediately the Rule for redirecting traffic to WAN 1 will be Disabled and all the traffic will be passing through the rest of the WAN connection
    After that if the WAN1 is UP again the rule of protocol binding will be active again and again all the traffic will be through WAN 1
    Please let me know if you have any others questions

  • Cisco RV016 dropping company POP3 connections

    I am getting crazy with our Cisco Linksys RV016. It handles 3 simultaneous connections to the internet using 3 ISP.
    All  our company goes to the internet using this cisco linksys RV016, our  corporate switches are connected as clients to the router.
    Sometime  ago, this router started to drop POP3 connections to our network, when  this problems is present, all users get Receiving' reported error  (0x80042108) in Outlook 2007-2010.
    Currently i have setup POP3  service to use the First ISP connection, but when this problem is  present, the only way to eventually resolve it is to switch the link  POP3 Service from the First to the Third ISP, sometimes it works  immediately, sometimes don't.
    We are using this router since 2007 but this problems started to arise from this month.
    Our switch is the latest firmware available is Cisco website, this is the Firmware Version: 3.0.2.01-tm.
    any tip, suggestion, will be really appreciated.
    thanks in advance.
    Sergio.

    This issue is getting more strange behaviour. Since Monday, it occurs between 4.30pm and 5.00pm and after about 30  minutes it goes away without my intervention.
    Is it the CISCO RV016 throughput maybe ?
    Is it because i use Intelligent  Balancer (Auto Mode) on all my 3 WANs? Should i use IP Group by Users instead?
    Thanks,
    throughput

  • Cisco RV042 - Dual Wan Load Balancing - Secure Site (HTTPS) Trouble

    PID VID :
    RV042 V03
    Firmware Version :
    v4.0.0.07-tm (Aug 19 2010 19:19:50)
    Ever since I setup my RV042 with load balancing using the Dual Wan system I have had trouble staying connected to some secure sites. After doing some searching I found that the potential issue is the IP change mid session.
    "http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r25537589-Cisco-RV042-can-not-use-load-balancing-for-some-web-sites"
    Although my interface is significantly different I was able to find the same area in my RV042 admin area however, it doesn't seem to work.
    System Management
    > Dual Wan
    In Wan 1 & Wan 2 I have HTTPS and HTTPS Secondary all forwarded to use Wan 2 under Protocol Binding
    This however has not managed to do anything at all for my network and every computer conneceted experiences the same HTTPS irregularities at some websites.
    I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is.
    Both incoming connections are from the same service provider although the plans are different.
    Any help with this would greatly help me stop losing my mind trying to fight with my website control panel for 10 minutes to just login and get something done.
    Thanks

    Any ideas or advice from anyone?

  • Cisco RV016 making connections drop

    Hi,
    My cisco rv016 is currently set to load balance 2 lines and soon 3.
    However some connections that are active here are with servers and FTP clients.
    With load balancing active it appears that people are getting their sessions timed out rather frequently.
    MySQL database connections
    SSH connections
    FTP, SFTP connections are the ones that spring to mine straight away.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Right now I'm testing on a single access point (autonomous) with WEP! The same laptop works fine without the Cisco client. Usually it is several hours, 12 or more when it happens, but I've seen it less than that. And I've seen it up for over a day and a half. At this point I just don't trust the client to roll out to a larger audience.

  • Quota deduction when EE has been inactive for more than 180 days / Advance quota days when employee does not have enough balance

    Dear experts,
    We have two requirements regarding to the "Anual leave" quota.
    1. Quota reduction when employee is inactive for more than 180 days
    2. Advance quota days when employeee does not have enough balance
    We have in place an "Anual Leave" quota related to a calendar year period, that gets generated dialy in time evaluation. This quota gets the employee entitlement from a set of rules that stored the corresponding balance in a period time type, that is the one that we defined in the customizing. This is working fine. The problems start when we try to incorporate the other two requirements.
    Regarding the first requirement, if the employee has been inactive for more than 180 days in a calendar year due to unpaid leave, we need to start quota reduction as follow,
    First, we need to clear the balance that was calculated above in the schema.
    Then, we need to calculate one leave day for every 20 days worked till the end of the year, considering as such, everyday the employee is expected to work, except days on which the employee has been absent on unpaid leave.
    For the second requirement we created a manual quota call "Advance Anual Leave". So, if the employee, wishes to take 20 working days holiday, but in his/her Anual Leave quota has only 10 days available, we have to create an "Advance Anual Leave" quota manualy for 10 days. When the quota for next year gets generated, we need to deduct these advanced 10 days from it. This deduction should stop the year after.
    The problem we are finding with these two requirements is that, due to the Anual Leave quota gets generated dialy, we can't get the balance right.
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Alex

  • AR Invoicemigration that do not effect inventory balances

    I using the SDK and the DI API to import Open AR invoices from another platform into SAP B1.  Is there a property I could set in either the Documents Object or the Documents Line object that will allow me to NOT update Inventory balances?  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
    TIA

    Dana,
    There is not a property in the SDK that will stop the balances from being affected.  You would need to post the transactions and then set the balances using adjusting entries to where they need to be in reality.

  • SAP R3 FCC 6.0 - AR Aging FBL5N did not reflect correct balance

    AR aging report (S_ALR_87012173 Customer Open Items for printing) or AR Aging T-code  FBL5N did not show correcct balance which will show 100% original invoice balance even we applied the partial payment.  Anyone has same problem?  If not, what caused this probelm since I can not send statment to customers and need do it in Excel.  Thanks,

    Hi PPIO:  I used FBL5N but all partial payment did not deduct from original invoice if you short of 0.01 cent, that is why I am trying other reports from SAP.  How you retrieve data and create your customized reports in R3?  We will implement BW in April 2012 but do we need any report tool to create our own reports? 
    Our internal SAP administrator told me the FBL5N can NOT display correct balance due that is can not do task.  I can not believe it, Can you teach me why we got incorrect balance due and what caused the problem?  Tks.

    Sir,
    I thought So too but then I went to Itunes Library and try and buy a single song from an album for $1.29.  Now my Itunes Gift card balance is $ 7.10 as I mentioned earlier. it still did not let me buy and kept trying billing my Visa card.
    Should I restart my PC and Itunes and retry. What do you suggest?

  • Problem to open ports in Cisco RV016

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Cisco RV016 router, with some ports configured in "Setup --> UPnP". Currently I have problems to configure new ports. I can create the service in "Service Management", but when I add this service to the list, I press "Save" and the router close the session. I need to re-login the router, and it don't save the changes.
    However, if I add a service that was already exists before having this problems, the router save the changes (But the router close the session too).
    The router has the last version of firmware since the first run.
    Anyone has the same problem? Or how to solve it?
    Thanks and regards

    Hello,
    Yes, I tried with different computers and different browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer). I contact with Cisco Support and their solution is reset the router to factory settings, and configure manually all the options. Is possible that the configuration files are corrupted.
    I can't reset it now, when I do I will tell you the result.

  • Value not udated in Balance tab of J1IH

    Dear All,
    Value of Excise Balance is not updated in balance tab of J1IH when i am doing other adjustment
    please tell me what are the settings for the same
    in quality it is working fine
    thank you  and hoping for the best respose
    regards,
    CA Maulik Maniyar

    got the answer
    this problem comes when we are doing back data punching and the open periods are not current periods. for example, the current period is Apr and if one of the open periods in MM is not April, then this problem arises.
    i was facing a different problem, though the current period is open the balances are coming as negative. this typically happens when the open period is the first period in the new fiscal year and we didnt run the balance carryforward function in FI. Once that is done this problem will not arise.
    thanks & regards
