3 WAN fail-over

Hello,

 

I need a some models that are able to have 3 WAN connections in failover mode.

 

I know that almost all devices are capable of doing so, just want confirmation. Currently eyeing 70D for this purpose.

Hello,

 

The FG70D has enough interfaces to configure 3 WAN links and is capable of routing traffic to a secondary and tetriary link in case of primary link failure by using routing metrics. This way one link is utilised untill it fails after which it starts routing to the secondary link and so forth. But let me ask you, how would you like this failover mode of these WAN links to work?

 

Also, normally I dont see multiple WAN links on small models as its more a requirement for bigger environments. Are you sure you require 3 WAN links and is the device scaled accordingly to the environment its being placed in?
