Configuration Examples
Basic configuration
Following is an illustration of a basic configuration example.
In this example:
Figure 9.1 Basic configuration diagram
Mesh configuration
Following is an illustration of a mesh configuration example.
In this example:
- Three LANS are connected and three WANJet appliances are installed.
- LAN1 has SL1 installed, LAN2 has SL2 installed, and LAN3 has SL3 installed.
- LAN2 and LAN3 are the remote WANJet appliances of LAN1, LAN1, and LAN3 are the remote WANJet appliances of LAN2, and LAN1, and LAN2 are the remote WANJet appliances s of LAN3.
- SL1 sends processed data to SL2 and SL3 to handle, SL2 sends processed data to SL1 and SL3 to handle, and SL3 sends processed data to SL1 and SL2 to handle.

Hub and spoke configuration
Following is an illustration of a hub and spoke configuration example.
In this example:
- Three LANS are connected and three WANJet appliances are installed.
- One LAN is connected to the other two LANs, and the other two LANs are connected to this LAN only and not to each other.
- LAN1 has SL1 installed, LAN2 has SL2 installed, and LAN3 has SL3 installed.
- SL1 sends processed data to both SL2 and SL3 to handle, SL2 sends processed data to SL1 only to handle, and SL3 sends processed data to SL1 only to handle.

Redundant configuration
Following is an illustration of a redundant configuration example.
In this example:
- Two LANS are connected and one of the LANs has a redundant WANJet appliances installed.
- LAN1 has two WANJet appliances installed, SL1-1 and SL1-2, and LAN2 has SL2 installed. SL1-2 is the redundant peer of SL1-1, in case of failure of any of the routers the other router and its corresponding WANJet appliance resumes function.
- SL1-1 processes the data of half the subnets of LAN1 (Subnet A), while SL1-2 processes the data of the other half of the subnets of LAN1 (Subnet B).
- SL1-1 sends processed data to SL2 to handle, and SL1-2 sends processed data to SL2 to handle.
- SL2 processes, and sends the data that should be routed to Subnet A to SL1-1 to handle. SL2 processes and sends the data that should be routed to Subnet B to SL1-2 to handle.

LAN router configuration
Following is an illustration of a LAN configuration example.
In this example:
- A VLAN switch connects two or more virtual networks to a WANJet appliance and the WANJet appliance is connected to the outside WAN through another router.
- LAN1 has SL1 installed, LAN2 has SL2 installed.
- LAN1 is divided into two virtual networks VLAN100, and VLAN 200. A VLAN switch is acting as the router between the two LANs and between both of them and SL1. WANJet appliance considers this VLAN switch as its gateway because it connects WANJet appliance (SL1) to its local network (LAN1).
- WANJet appliance sees the local network through the VLAN switch. So, in order for WANJet appliance to see, and process the data of the virtual LANs, you have to add these LANs as subnets to LAN1.
- LAN1 and SL1 is connected to the outside WAN through another router (that is, the LAN Router).
