Configure Settings for Participating Devices

The device participation settings determine how the devices share load in VPN load balancing. Configure a participating device by enabling VPN load balancing on the device and defining device-specific properties. These values vary from device to device. You can provide a priority number for the devices participating in load balancing. A higher priority number gives the device a better chance to become the director over other devices. But you cannot select a device to be the director of the group.
