Does Peplink Balance Require Static IP on WAN Connections?

When it comes to requirement for WAN connections, we need to consider whether it is for outbound or inbound load balancing.

  • For Outbound Load Balancing:No Static IP address is required. All WAN connections can have Dynamic IP only.Example:

    wan_ip_outbound

  • For Inbound Load Balancing:At least two Static IP addresses, each on a separate WAN connection, are required.As Peplink Balance will act as an authoritative DNS server of the domain name, at least two WAN connections are needed, and a Static IP is required on two of these WAN connections.

    Example:

    wan_ip_inbound
