The MX250 currently only supports load balancing across the 2 WAN/Internet ports - i.e. 2 ISPs.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. In the link below, it mention that:

Load sharing is loosely defined as spreading network traffic across 2 or more equal or unequal links/paths. Load sharing can exist between a 10Mbps WAN link and a 100Mbps WAN link.

I wonder which MX model that can support 3 WAN link.

Hi @Lingcw

 

The definition you mention is a general defintion of load sharing/balancing.

 

If you look further down the same page, in the "Cisco Meraki implementatino" you will see "Cisco Meraki security appliances use a proprietary algorithm to provide load balancing across two Layer 3 links (if configured). "

 

Hope this clarifies.

3 or more WAN load balancing is also something I would like to see . I suggest you use the "make a wish" button on your dashboard, other vendors offer the option of using more than two WANS so I don't think its a big ask.
