Routing rules with Load Balancing 2 WAN

Becseven_2395Becseven_2395 Newbie ✭

I have 2 ISP WAN lines with physical ports X1 and X2.

I am configuring load balancing to Internet with Round Robin method.

When checking Routing Rules, I only see 1 routing rule to the Internet via WAN 1 (Port X1), this rule is created automatically.

So does this have any effect on the system?
Do I have to manually create an additional routing rule to the Internet using WAN 2 (Port X2) with the same Metric as WAN 1?

    For automtic Load Balancing you don't have to add any custom Routing Rules,

    You can check the Statistics in the Failover & LB configuration what the Distribution Ratio is between X1 and X2.

    Setting up F&LB creates an entry at the bottom of the list of routing policies. It might say X1 because that's the line that F&LB has decided to use right now.

    Wouldn't it be great if it would use the Comment or Name fields on the routing policy to indicate that it is there because of F&LB?
