Separate traffic using two WAN links

Hi,

 

I have 2 WAN links connected to an MX64 firewall. Is it possible to send traffic separately between  this links for different VLAN's.

 

For example, I have a STAFF VLAN which I want to pass through WAN link1 and GUEST VLAN which needs to pass through WAN link2.

Flow Preferences

By default (without load balancing), internet-bound traffic will flow out of the MX's primary uplink. The MX can also be configured to send traffic out of a specific interface based on the traffic type (policy-based routing), or based on the link quality of each uplink (performance-based routing). Flow preferences can be configured to define which uplink a given flow should use. Flow preferences will also supersede load balancing decisions. 

Internet Traffic

Flow preferences for internet-bound traffic can be configured to force traffic over a specific uplink based on its source and/or destination. These preferences can be used if a specific uplink should be designated for a particular type of traffic, such as traffic bound for a cloud-hosted service. 

Note: ICMP traffic is not subject to traffic shaping rules. As a result, Flow Preference will have no impact on ICMP traffic.

To create a flow preference for internet traffic:

  1. In Dashboard, navigate to Security & SD-WAN > Configure > SD-WAN & Traffic shaping.
  2. Navigate to Flow preferences, and under Internet traffic, select Add a preference.
  3. Define the traffic that will be assigned a designated uplink:
    • Protocol - TCP, UDP, or Any.
    • Source - Source IP, using CIDR notation.
    • Src port - Source port, or "Any".
    • Destination - Destination IP, using CIDR notation.
    • Dst port - Destination port, or "Any".
    • Preferred uplink - The uplink this traffic will be sent over.
  4. Click Save Changes.
