Hi All,

I have Flex 500.
Is it possible to connect P6 (lan2) to wan2? With or without VLAN is fine.
The rest of the ports needs to be connected to both WAN's.

    So yes LAN2 should be using WAN2…are you sure your using P6? and devices get LAN2 subnet IP's?

    Remove that source subnet in routing rule and go with any and test again.

    You should do a packet capture on the FLEX for WAN2 to see if traffic is being sent over WAN2

    Thanks for your reply.

    This is what I have:

    Every computer connected to LAN1 and LAN2 are using WAN1 to connect to the internet, but I want LAN2 connect to WAN2. I also tried:

    Hi @PeterHer

    The policy route rule is correct. Have you checked the security policy setting? Did you create a new WAN zone for WAN 2 but didn't set an allow policy for WAN 2? Also, what is your interface trunk setting? It seems like your WAN 2 is in passive mode from the description "Every computer connected to LAN1 and LAN2 are using WAN1 to connect to the internet".

    I have two internet connections (WAN1, WAN2).
    It seems to me that every computer connected to LAN1 and LAN2 is using WAN1 when browsing. I verified this with (MyIP). Maybe this is the default, I don't know. But I would like: LAN2 using WAN2 to go to the internet. Would be handy that this could be set at: Configuration - Network - Interface - Ethernet - Lan2 ;-). I used above settings after reading document: Policy_Routing_Walkthrough.pdf.
