Default WAN in RV042 Load Balancing

If I choose the RV042 mode as load balancer and bind some protocol to specific WANs, what will happen to the protocols that I didn't bind to any specific WAN? will they go to WAN1 by default?
Thanks

Hi,
When Load Balance is enabled, RV042 will dispatch (using weighted Round Robin) incoming sessions to WAN1 and WAN2 according to the ratio of the WAN bandwidth. A session is defined by a TCP connection or a UDP stream with certain timeout.
I found this in the users guide.   
*  Dual WAN. There are two functions provided for users – Smart Link Backup and Load Balance..
*  If Smart Link Backup is selected, you only need to choose which WAN port is the primary and then the other will be the backup. See Figure 6-22. 
*  If Load Balance is selected, there will be two main choices:
•    By Traffic – Intelligent Balancer (Auto) and user defined. See Figure 6-23.  First, choose the Max. Bandwidth of Upstream (64K/128K/256K/384K/512K/1024K/1.5M/2M/2.5M or above) and Downstream (512K/1024K/1.5M/2M/2.5M or above) for WAN1 and WAN2, as provided by your ISP.
•    Intelligent Balancer (Auto): When choosing Intelligent Balancer, it will automatically compute the maximum bandwidth of WAN1 and WAN2 by using Weighted Round Robin to balance the loading. If (upstream / downstream / upstream or downstream) bandwidth is excessive (30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%), bring up the second link.  When there is an inactivity time-out (None/10min/20min/30min/40min/50min/60min), the second link will be terminated.
Adding to this is the operation of Network Service Detection (NSD), which allows RV042 to ping the liveliness of the default gateway of the WAN port or a specified Host. The retry timeout and retry count will affect how long RV042 determines the WAN is down. By default the detection time is
(Retry timeout) + (Retry count) * (5 sec)  // the 5 sec is hard coded (which is about 1 minute)

  • Rv042 dual-wan threshold based load balance?

    I have an RV042 (it's old, silver/dark grey plastic front one) w/ firmware 1.3.13.02-tm.
    The reason we bought this (long ago) was to balance two WAN connections, one with unlimited data and one capped monthly.  It did that once, but for a couple years both connections have been unmetered so it's just been balancing them 50/50.  As of today one WAN connection (the new much faster one) is back to being metered but I can't figure out how to configure the RV042 as it once was to prefer sending traffic over the slow, unmetered connection first, and only use the faster metered connection when necessary.
    It's been a long time and honestly I only vaguely remember the ability to prioritize a connection based on % of bandwidth used so that all traffic would go over the unlimited connection 1st until it was flooded, and only then fall over to the metered connection.  This is totally different than the weighted round robin, or smart link backup.
    I found this 3rdparty pforum post that supports that vauge memory and suggests this was eliminated netweem firmware 1.23 and 1.3:
    http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/rv042-load-balancing-options-from-the-manual-where-to-find.15512/#post-69948
    So I humlbly ask...  Is it possible to replicate this functionality with the current firmware? if so how?  If not, how to do roll back to firmware 1.23?
    It sounded like perhaps I could assigned WAN1 a bandwidth of 100000 (even though it's really 1500) and then assign WAN2 a bandwidth of 1 (even though it's really 20000) and the result might be the prioritization I'm looking to achieve...  but I feel like I'm stumbling in the dark at the point.
    Just FYI, I'm not at all opposed to buying new hardware to acheive this if it's not terribly expensive (ie. <$200).  I'd rather not, but I've got to solve this quick.

    Hi Jon,
    I Also have one of these routers.
    On the bottom mine says (v02) which means its hardware version is 2.
    I just got this one brand new for home as I have been using them for a very long time now. However I have been using them for VPN and now I am needing the same functionality as you.
    I am currently running Firmware Version: 1.3.12.19-tm
    If you login to the web management (eg 192.168.1.1) and go to System Management > Dual-WAN
    Down the bottom you will see "Protocol Binding".
    This is all I know of to send specific ports or applications via a specific WAN.
    I'll give you an example of how I am using it currently.. (BTW it seems to be working OK, But you are on a higher firmware)
    eg: WAN1 is more reliable than WAN2 which is a cheap unlimited service.
    So I bind port 5060 (sip), port 80 (http) and port 443 (https) to WAN1 so that my VOIP phone is on the good service and so is all web traffic.
    so all the other stuff can use the unlimited connection.
    Also, My current bandwidth settings are
    WAN          UPSTREAM          DOWNSTREAM
    1                384                       8000
    2                384                       10000
    And Under: System Management > Bandwidth Management you can also prioritize those ports.
    This may help you in some way, So maybe you can help me..
    Your post has made me not want to upgrade the firmware.. Can you please confirm that this functionality exists still?
    Thanks

  • RV042 Load Balancing not working correctly?

    We have an RV042 on firmware version 1.3.13.02 and 2 ISPs:
    WAN1 = Telepacific T1
    1.5Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up
    WAN2 = AT&T U-Verse
    12Mbps down and 5Mbps up
    I have it set to Load Balance, Primary WAN = WAN2
    Network Service Detection enabled, only pinging the Remote Host of 4.2.2.2 and set to Generate Log
    Bandwidth is set to:
    WAN1 = 1000Kbps upstream & downstream
    WAN2 = 5040Kbps upstream & 12000Kbps downstream
    It seems to pick WAN1 a lot of the time.  Do I have something setup wrong?

    Ok, so what do you recommend? To setup binding for ports important to direct over say… WAN1 (my fast access) shall I also keep the bandwidth management set up as is, example:
    For me it’s confusing because this config appears to be clear to me that has to control traffic the way I want .
    Thanks for your response.

  • RV042, Load Balance issue

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie to routers and on this discussion.
    I've  purchased a Linksys RV042 hoping I could connect my two ISP.
    Both of them are 1/1 Mb, first is DSL  second PPPoE connection.
    The problem is that on system summary page it doesn't show me that second WAN is connected. Even when I trying to manually connect to Internet it doesn't help.
    When this connection is in Load balance Mode, internet is very slow, sometimes it's even disconnected.
    My question is:
    How to configure Load Balance properly?
    I've tried this page:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9923/products_qanda_item09186a0080a36632.shtml
    but it didn't helped.
    Or maybe it's just a demo of this option and doesn't work at all?
    Thanks for the reply.....

    Eliviszopa,
    Hi. My name is Tiya and I am one of the Cisco SMB Support Engineers. I have been eyeing your post and I would like to add a few recommendations.
    From what I've gathered, you are having an initial problem with your Dual-WAN configuration, in that you are unable to have both WAN interfaces Live at the same time. I will list a few things that will help you in determining if there is an issue with your RV042's Dual-WAN configuration and connectivity.
    I understand your Network Topology to be: [ISP Modem 1 & ISP Modem 2]---->RV042---->LAN Clients (PC).
    First thing, we need to ensure your router it at the most current firmware version for optimal performance. The RV042 series routers are currently in their 3rd HW revision, so we also need to ensure we download the firmware that is compatible with the HW version of your RV042
    To locate HW version:
    Look on the bottom of your RV042.
    You will find the Serial Number and MAC      address sticker.
    The HW Version will be visible by the      Model Number on that sticker.
    Image below has a Red Square around the      Model Number and HW version of an older RV042 as a reference. HW is indicated      with 'v' and rational number, i.e. v1.1, v2.0. Your sticker may look      slightly different, but the content will be the same:
    Now that we are certain of the HW version, check the release notes below to check the best firmware version for your RV042. I have provided a link below to the RV042 Release Notes:
    Firmware v 4.0.0.7 Release Notes:      http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv0xx/release/rv0xx_rn_v4-0-0-7.pdf
    Firmware v 1.3312.19-tm Release Notes:      http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv042/release/notes/RV042_RN_v1-3-12-19-tm.pdf
    If your RV042 is using neither of the 2 firmwares, follow this link to download the correct version for your router:
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/type.html?mdfid=282414010&flowid=784
    I would recommend you download and      'flash' your RV042 with the current compatible version of firmware to      address the possibility of software corruption.
    Now, we need to reset your RV042 to factory defaults to remove any parameters previously configured and also, in essence, clear the router's memory so that we can start afresh. When this happens, your RV042 will return all settings to their default state; in other words, it will be as if you are pulling it out of the box for a new install. To do this:
    Disconnect the RV042 from your network,      so that the only item the RV042 is only connected to the power outlet.
    Locate the reset button on your RV042.      This will be on the front of your router and it will be recessed a bit.
    Use a small tipped item; paperclips      usually work best, to hold down the reset button for 30 secs. Anytime less      will not guarantee a full reset to factory defaults.
    Connect your RV042 to your PC. After      about 30 secs, ensure that you have an IP address of 192.168.1.100 on your      PC.
    Now, let's test each WAN port with each of your ISP connections.
    The next few steps will take us through a process that will ensure both WAN ports are working, and ultimately will help is in determining your Dual-WAN connectivity performance.
    Connect one of your DSL modems to WAN1 and configure the WAN1 interface accordingly:
    · DSL connections typically are UN-bridged by default; where you will see the modem is performing NAT. You will use DHCP as the WAN tupe for UN-bridged DSL connection types. This UN-bridged state can be recognized quickly in a couple of ways.
    o    There is a PRIVATE IP address displayed as the WAN1 IP address, e.g. 192.168.x.x. where X is a number 0-254, 10.x.x.x where X is a number 0-254, or less commonly, 172.16.x.x where X is a number 0-254.
    o    When connecting to the modem directly to your PC, you are able to reach the Internet.
    o    If your DSL connection is UN-bridged, you must make sure the LAN IP Subnet of your Modem and Router are NOT the same.
    o    Again, you will use DHCP as the WAN type for UN-bridged DSL connection types.
    · DSL connection that is Bridged will require a PPPoE Username AND Password. This PPPoE username and password will be entered on the RV042 under the WAN type PPPoE. PPPoE connections can be quickly recognized in the same manner:
    o    There is a PUBLIC IP address displayed as the WAN1 IP address AFTER correctly configuring WAN interface to use PPPoE and using correct UN/PW.
    o    You are NOT able to reach the Internet when connecting your PC directly to your RV042.
    · Contact your ISP to assist you in determining the bridged state of your modem to be absolutely certain.
    2.     After you have properly configured WAN1 and confirmed Internet connection, configure WAN2 in the same fashion.
    3.     Change Primary WAN to WAN2 by going to the following location in the RV042:
    · System Management>Dual-WAN> Smart-Link Backup Primary : WAN2 (change this option)
    4.     Disconnect DSL Modem from WAN1 and connect to WAN2.
    5.     Power cycle the DSL Modem, RV042, and also disconnect your PC from the router as well while it is powered down.
    6.     After about 5-10 sec, and in this order, power on your Modem, power on you RV042, and reconnect your PC to one of the LAN ports of your RV042
    7.     After about 30-60 secs, test for Internet connectivity.
    Now we will do the same for your other ISP connection.
    1.     Disconnect all devices from the RV042, save your PC.
    2.     Change Primary WAN to WAN1 by going to the following location in the RV042:
    · System Management>Dual-WAN> Smart-Link Backup Primary : WAN1 (change this option)
    3.     Connect 2nd ISP connection to WAN1 and configure according to Modem configuration, either DHCP or PPPoE.
    4.     Power cycle the DSL Modem, RV042, and also disconnect your PC from the router as well while it is powered down.
    5.     After about 5-10 sec, and in this order, power on your Modem, power on you RV042, and reconnect your PC to one of the LAN ports of your RV042
    6.     After about 30-60 secs, test for Internet connectivity.
    7.     Do the same for WAN2 using your 2nd ISP connection
    At this point, we should now know for certain if both WAN Interfaces will allow Internet connectivity.
    If you have problems with these steps, repost with the steps you took and the results.
    If things are OK, then we will continue with configuring the router for Load Balance Mode:
    1.     Navigate to System Management>Dual-WAN and change your selection from Smart-Link Backup to Load balance
    2.     Configure both WAN1 and WAN2 with the configuration that correlates to the Modem connection it will receive.
    3.     Connect both Modems to the correct WAN port on the RV042.
    4.     Power cycle all devices; Both Modems, RV042, and PC
    5.     Navigate to RV042 management page and check to see if there are IP addresses for WAN1 & WAN2 Interfaces.
    If you have problems with these steps, repost with the steps you took and the results. Let us know your results.

  • RV042 load balancing problem

    We have two network connections coming into the office. One is a private WAN and the other is an internet WAN. We have a RV042 Router configured for load balancing. On Wan1 we have our private WAN which includes Exchange, and 6 VPNs. On WAN2 we have a Public IP, and workers from home. Both connections are 5Mg T1s and both have the ability to reach the internet but only wan2 has a public IP (76.x.x.x) were as WAN1 has a private IP. (10.x.x.x).
    Now were the problem lies is our new web based Payroll system does not support load balancing. We have to shutdown one side when we want to do payroll (turn load balancing off.)
    Now is there a way to make our payroll computers only use one side? modify host file maybe? Or force a certain MAC address to only use WAN1 OR is there a better router that can Accomplish this?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Peter Labelle

    I ran in to this problem at a client where we had an RV042.  Different scenario though.  We had 2 static IP from 2 different ISP's.  We had an accounting program that used HTTPS on port 443 hosted at a different location.  We had to bind outgoing port 443 to WAN1 to prevent disconnect problems.  This caused a problem in case that internet connection went down.
    What we did was create a service on the RV042 for TCP port 4433 and binded the traffic to WAN2.  On the side hosting the accounting package we created a rule in that router to translate all public port 4433 requests to internal 443 requests.
    On the workstations we had to leave 2 desktop shortcuts one that pointed to 443 and one to 4433.  That way if one link doesn't work they can just use the second link.
    It's not the best solution but at least it works until they ok a swap out to a router that supports better binding.
    I'm not provided this as a solution but maybe it can spark an idea of a workaround.
    I know a company called Xincom use to make a dual wan router that was decently priced that supported strict binding per internal ip address.  The build quality wasn't the best and they use to die all the time but maybe their new units are better.  When they worked though they were very good and I never had a problem.       

  • RV042 load balancing and OWA

    I have a rv042 router with two internet connections. I have setp the WAN1 and WAN2 and set the load balance mode.
    Surfing on internet is then not a problem and I checked that I was using the two internet connection.
    However if I try to connect to my corporate (OWA) outlook web access i am looping on the first page where I should provide my credentials.
    I know that most of the load balancer could be set up with a sticky bit to keep the session on the same WAN connection, but reading the documentation, googling and searching on this community I do not find any help.
    Does someone have an idea and could help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    i've have a RV042 too, and i have the same problem.
    Loadbalance work for every single request, so every website get requests from both connection even if there is a single user browsing.
    Website side, some requests are "logged in" (if request came from the same IP the user logged in), but not if request come from the other wan (because IP mismatch). I've experienced many problems with many websites, not only OWA, not only requesting me to log-in continously, but also server-side crash because server session get lost in the middle of transactions.
    Protocol Binding is NOT the solution, since it will require to bind all HTTP to just one connection (this way, where is loadbalance?) and if that wan fails over you get lost of connectivity.
    Right now I didn't found any solution to use loadbalancing correctly, the right way to do would be that the RV042 remember the association CLIENT/SERVER->WAN, so that once i client connect to a server the router whould use only that one WAN, and when a WAN fails the table get cleared to restart balancing requests on remaining WANs.
    Hope to see this function on next firmware..

  • RV042 - Load Balancing question

    Hi, I have the RV042 (firmware 1.3.13.02-tm) in Load Balancing mode. When I do a speedtest, the result is the total bandwidth available on my 2 connections, i.e. 8-9,000 Kbit/Sec (each line is approx 4,500 Kbit/Sec). When I stream from Netflix, the bandwidth throughput is about 4-4,5000 Kbit/Sec. Should not the RV042 stream Netflix as the combined speed between WAN 1 and 2, i.e. at 8-9,000?

    Load balance permits more available bandwidth. It may effective double the speed because the requests have more pipe available to utilize but not because it increases the over all speed of your connection. If your connections are 5 mbit they remain 5 mbit.

  • WAN round-robin load balancing

    First things first, I just recently got that horrible distribution Gentoo off my machine and installed Arch for a test run and so far a flipping love it. Just like to thank everyone that made this wonderful piece of Linux.
    To the point: I have a box with 3 NIC and it current runs as my LAN gateway. http://pastie.org/608016 is the script I use to do so and as you may have guessed eth0 is my DSL modem eth1 is my LAN switch, eth2 is my cable modem. Currently my LAN runs off just my DSL, if I want to change this and run off the cable I have to change WAN in the script to eth2 and run it. I would like to change this and have it round-robin load balance over my DSL, cable.
    I tried
    ifconfig eth0 down
    ifconfig eth2 down
    modprobe bonding mode=0 miimon=100
    ifconfig bond0 10.0.0.5
    ifenslave bond0 eth0
    ifenslave bond0 eth2
    inspired by http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/how-to-use-t … -computer/ and that didn't work at all.
    Then I had a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … rk#bonding (two ip on two card) but that didn't really make sense to be as you're not specifying what interfaces to bond anywhere.
    Could anyone help me?

    Let us first set some symbolical names. Let $IF1 be the name of the first interface (if1 in the picture above) and $IF2 the name of the second interface. Then let $IP1 be the IP address associated with $IF1 and $IP2 the IP address associated with $IF2. Next, let $P1 be the IP address of the gateway at Provider 1, and $P2 the IP address of the gateway at provider 2. Finally, let $P1_NET be the IP network $P1 is in, and $P2_NET the IP network $P2 is in.
    One creates two additional routing tables, say T1 and T2. These are added in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables. Then you set up routing in these tables as follows:
    ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1 table T1
    ip route add default via $P1 table T1
    ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2 table T2
    ip route add default via $P2 table T2
    What does it mean by 'IP network' ($P*_NET)?

  • RV042 Load balancing function

    I have Rv042 so I need it to make load balancing for 2 ADSL lines.

  • RV042 Load Balancing - Not Balancing

    I recently purchased an RV042 ver.3 Dual WAN router to replace my ver.2 router. I have found that the load balancing feature is not working like it did in the ver.2 router. Using the Nice Trace app on my iPad, I could see the ver.2 router toggle between the 2 WAN inputs. However, the ver.3 router seems to remain fixed on one of the WAN inputs and never switches to the other. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest v4.2.2.08, but that did not change the load balancing. Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix?

    Is there any particular reason that made you move to the v3 router?  If not, put the v2 one back in service.  Each version of these routers have different issues, and if you have one working that meets all your needs, just leave it alone.
    That being said, have you checked the setting on the v3 to see if it's in failover?  Also, are there any protocol bindings?  Have you entered the correct amount of bandwidth for each LAN?  This affects the load balancing quite a bit.

  • RV042 Load Balancing

    Hello,
    I just setup my RV042 and my 2 connections are load balancing fine on it. However, I'd like to prioritize connection A on computer A and prioritize connection B on computer B.
    I couldn't find an option to do it, I tried to do it in a very hacky way by throttling Wan B on Computer A to 1kbit/sec while giving it max power on Wan A, and then did the same thing for Computer B/Wan B. It didn't really work as expected, the 1kbit/sec still picked up traffic and executed it at 1kbit/sec instead, not my biggest success.
    So, is there actually a way to tell the routeur to assign a specific connection to a specific computer?
    Thanks

              5:10:1000 for min:default:max
              By which we mean that default value is 10, max is 1000 and min is 5. I guess the
              docs are confusing about the syntax here. We will correct them.

  • Load balancing effect on ssh/https connections

    We have a RV016 load balancing between two broadband WAN connections. On protocols that are sensitive to a change in IP address such as ssh and https, if the client connection goes inactive for a short time (sometimes as short as 10 seconds), the RV016 often changes WAN connection as part of its "load balancing" feature. Most protocols do not even notice, but the more sensitive protocols do and often lock a session or timeout the session which is not a good thing.
    We have been able to bind these sensitive protcolols to a particular WAN port but (in our minds) this is not an "ideal" situation. In fact I would consider this to be a broken "load balancing" solution and should be fixed.
    Does anyone have any "permanent fixes" or ideas on this?
    Thanks!

    Sorry Tom, but I wrote (edited for clarity): "What would happen [..] when the particular WAN chosen goes down? Does the system apply the same binding to ***another WAN*** until the original one comes back up, will it ignore the bining and so break any new sessions of the same protocol or will it simply fail (no connection)?"
    I did not write "the other WAN". That is, I am considering the case, quite common, of more than two WANs.
    Proper load balancing is described here:
    http://help.mysonicwall.com/sw/eng/305/ui2/23100/Network/WAN_Failover_Load_Balancing.htm
    "About Source and Destination IP Address Binding
    When you establish a connection with a WAN, you can create multiple interfaces, dividing up the task load over these interfaces. There are both Primary and Secondary WAN interfaces. This task distribution model maintains high performance, ensuring that one interface does not become an impasse to the point where it blocks traffic from passing. This process is WAN Load Balancing.
    While WAN Load Balancing addresses performance challenges, it can create other problems, including losing track of sessions. Session confusion can occur because some applications fail to adequately track multiple user sessions load-balanced on multiple interfaces. These applications treat incoming packets as originating from different users because they use IP addresses to differentiate user sessions instead of application-layer user identification tags.
    To ensure that you have proper connectivity in all applications, SonicWALL provides a feature called Source and Destination IP Addresses Binding, a solution that maintains a consistent mapping of traffic flows with a single outbound WAN interface."
    and their appliances are no more expensive than Cisco multi WAN ones...
