ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual
8-2
Router and Network Management
v1.0, October 2007
WAN side: 2000 Mbps (load balancing mode, two WAN ports at 1000 Mbps each) or 1000 
Mbps (rollover mode, one active WAN port at 1000 Mbps)
In practice, the WAN side bandwidth capacity will be much lower when DSL or cable modems are 
used to connect to the Internet. At 1.5 Mbps, the WAN ports will support the following traffic 
rates:
Load balancing mode: 3 Mbps (two WAN ports at 1.5 Mbps each)
Rollover mode: 1.5 Mbps (one active WAN port at 1.5 Mbps)
As a result and depending on the traffic being carried, the WAN side of the firewall will be the 
limiting factor to throughput for most installations.
Using the dual WAN ports in load balancing mode increases the bandwidth capacity of the WAN 
side of the VPN firewall. But there is no backup in case one of the WAN ports fail. In such an 
event and with one exception, the traffic that would have been sent on the failed WAN port gets 
diverted to the WAN port that is still working, thus increasing its loading. The exception is traffic 
that is bound by protocol to the WAN port that failed. This protocol-bound traffic is not diverted.
Features That Reduce Traffic
Features of the VPN firewall that can be called upon to decrease WAN-side loading are as follows:
Service blocking
Block sites
Source MAC filtering
Service Blocking
You can control specific outbound traffic (from LAN to WAN). Outbound Services lists all 
existing rules for outbound traffic. If you have not defined any rules, only the default rule will be 
listed. The default rule allows all outgoing traffic. 
Each rule lets you specify the desired action for the connections covered by the rule:
BLOCK  always 
BLOCK by schedule, otherwise Allow 
ALLOW always 
Warning: This feature is for Advanced Administrators only! Incorrect configuration 
will cause serious problems.
