Description

Use this command to manage and configure the uplink network connection.

Amanaged device支持多个3 g手机上行ports in addition to their standard wired ports provides redundancy in the event of connection failure. However, at a time, only one cellular uplink is supported irrespective of many plugged-in. Theuplink health-checkconfiguration is required for WAN health based uplink-failover.

The uplink manager is disabled by default.

Ifuplink load-balanceis enabled (active-active operation), and the device fails-over to cellular uplink because all wired uplink ports became unusable (unreachable or interface is down) then uplink load-balancing gets disabled automatically. This is because cellular uplink never participates in load-balancing of WAN traffic. Once any wired uplink port becomes usable again, cellular is disconnected and load-balancing get enabled again.

The uplink manager and load-balancing features are enabled automatically when you configure the cellular or wired uplinks.

To view the health status of an uplink on a services ormanaged device, issue the commandshow uplinkin themanaged deviceCLI. For amanaged device, the health status of its uplink connections are also displayed in theStatussection of theDashboard > WANpage of themanaged deviceWebUI.

Parameter

Description

cellular

apn

priority

Set the cellular uplink configuration. This parameter has two sub-parameters:

  • apn:The AP name of the cellular uplink.
    : Connection ID in modem dial string (e.g. "*99***x#", where "x" is the appropriate APN-profile-id number in dial-string)
    : AP Name (e.g. internet). Contact your service provider if not known.
  • priority:Set the priority of the cellular uplink. By default, the cellular uplink is a lower priority than the wired uplink; making the wired link the primary link and the cellular link the secondary or backup link. Configuring the cellular link with a higher priority than your wired link priority will set your cellular link as the primary link.

Range:priority— 1-255

load-balance

Load-balance configuration.

mode hash-based|round-robbin|session-count

Choose one of the following load balancing modes:

  • Hash based: Hash-based load balancing uses information from the packets being sent, (e.g. the source IP address, destination IP address, protocol and port numbers to determine how to load balance that traffic)
  • Round Robin: Traffic is equally distributed to all the active uplinks
  • Session Count: Traffic is balanced between the uplink ports based on the number of sessions managed by each link. The session-distribution is guided byuplink load-balance threshold-limits session-count <>percentage.

threshold-limits

Define latency and session thresholds

session-count

Specify the maximum percentage of total sessions that can be managed by any active uplink. The default % is equally distributed among the number of wired uplink ports present. That is:

  • For 4 uplink ports– 25%
  • For 3 uplink ports– 33%
  • For 2 uplink ports– 50%
  • For 1 uplink port– 100%

mode

Configure load-balancing mode. The valid values are hash-based, round-robin, and session-count.

threshold-limits

Set threshold limits for load balancing. The valid value is session count percentage.

health-check {ip {|}

Thehealth-checkparameter is introduced to monitor the availability and quality of the connection to a master /conductor managed devicewith the specified FQDN or IP address.

wired

Define the wired uplink configuration.

priority

Define the default priority for wired uplinks.

Range:1-255

Default:200.

vlan uplink-id {link1|link2|link3|link4}

Define the VLAN ID of the uplink VLAN. A maximum of four wired VLANs can be defined.

Range:1-4094

weight

Set a weight for the uplink VLAN, which will be used in load balancing.

Range:1-100

Default:10.
