SpeedFusion: multiple devices per side of tunnel

[Knight_Jensen]

Could a customer use two HD4s on the same SpeedFusion Tunnel while attempting to go to a Balance or FusionHub?

The purpose for this request would be greater bandwidth bonding. Their site wants 8 LTE ‘pipes’ instead of the 4 of a single HD4.

I suppose this request starts to get into EPX territory. But the question of multiple physical devices on one side of a SpeedFusion tunnel is unfamiliar to me.

Looking forward to any feedback. Thanks all!

Steve wrote a post about it: active / active config. It requires additional WAN port activation license.

Pepwave Max Active / Active

Here is a document to demonstrate how to setup 2 Max devices in an Active / Active pair to combine their total connections. The document shows the step-by-step setup for 2 x BR1’s, with guidance for 2 x HD2’s and 2 x HD4’s. On the LAN side of each device you would either have Access Points or a switch with Access Points connected. The recommendation is that each AP from both devices would have the same SSID’s / Password, with the latest 3.6.0 firmware on the AP’s you can enable the setting to…
