Default Load balancing

Hi,

I have tryied to make the FW-1 wokring in load balancing model. I have not succeded, even with doing all the setings written in the FW-1 documentation. The only way that I can use 2 ISP's is to use Primary/Backup model which is working more or less. Is there any way to control the declaration of the time when an interface is declared down/up?
Is there any way that the load balancing model is working ?
Thanks
bye

What exaclty are you trying to do? It sounds like you are trying to load balance outbound traffic out 2 different ISPs. This is a job more suited to BGP or other routing protocols, not at the firewall level.

I know, but accodring to ChekcPoint, this can be done by the FW itself. And compared with a BGP routing solution this si much cheaper, but as usual I think good things are not cheap.
Now I am working wirh 2 ISP's in the Primary Backup model. It is working but also with some ... minuses.
