Does load balancing happen when ther is a MX67C with a sim card wifi connection?

In cases where we have loadbalancing enabled over a template that has sites that are using a wired primary connection and keeping an active sim chip for possible failover in the event that the primary connection goes down, will the firewall try to load balance over the cellular sim card connection?  

I know if we connect a cradle point the device will try to loadbalance over the secondary connection but will that happen over an MX with a sim chip?

 

If anyone here knows for sure please let me know.

 

Thank you.

By default integrated LTE would be the path of last resort. Meaning only active when WAN 1 & 2 fail. However, you can override this behavior by enabling "Cellular active uplink" on the Security & SD-WAN > SD-WAN & traffic shaping page. This makes WAN 1 & cellular the active uplinks (instead of WAN 2).
