Load balancing strategy
The maximize bandwidth (load-balance) strategy used prior to FortiOS 7.4.1 is now known as the load balancing strategy. This strategy can be configured under the manual mode and the lowest cost (SLA) strategies.
-
When the load balancing strategy is configured under the manual mode strategy, SLA targets are not used (see Load balancing strategy without SLA targets for an example configuration).
-
When the load balancing strategy is configured under the lowest cost (SLA) strategy, SLA targets are used (see Load balancing strategy with SLA targets for an example configuration).
|
The load balancing strategy functionality remains the same as the maximum bandwidth (SLA) strategy when it is configured inside the lowest cost (SLA) strategy: load balance traffic out of all the interfaces that satisfy the SLA targets. Interface cost is not considered when selecting the best path when the load balancing strategy is used. |
