2.3 Outbound Traffic 
This section outlines some of the ways you can use MH-1000 to manage outbound traffic. 
2.3.1 Outbound Fail Over 
Configuring MH-1000 for Outbound Fail Over allows you to ensure that outgoing traffic is uninterrupted. 
 
In the above example, PC 1 (IP_192.168.2.2) and PC 2 (IP_192.168.2.3) are connected to the Internet via 
WAN1 (IP_230.100.100.1) on MH-1000. Should WAN1 fail, Outbound Fail Over tells MH-1000 to reroute 
outgoing traffic to WAN2 (IP_213.10.10.2). Configuring your MH-1000 for Outbound Fail Over provides a 
more reliable connection for your outgoing traffic. 
Please refer to appendix D for example settings. 
2.3.2 Outbound Load Balancing 
Outbound Load Balancing allows MH-1000 to intelligently manage outbound traffic based on the amount of 
load of each WAN connection.
