Can we achieve ISP redundancy with 1430 appliance?

Hi team,

Wondering since 1430 comes with only WAN interface. - Can we

Create/convert LAN interface as WAN?
And achieve ISP redundancy with 1430 appliances if managed through Central SMS server?

Yes:

High availability (ISP Redundancy): Makes Internet connectivity more reliable with ISP Redundancy.
Load Balancing: Distributes traffic between the primary and secondary connections.

ISPs:

WAN or DMZ is for most types of Internet connections.
LAN. You can also use unassigned LAN ports with no VLANs for Internet connections. When you delete the internet connection, the port revers to an unassigned LAN.
USB/Serial is for cellular or analog modems.
ADSL/VDSL. PPoE, IPoE - static IP, or IPoE - dynamic IP.

Thanks - Let me see.

So any of the unused LAN can be used for WAN connection.

This is ok - I am not going for ISP redundancy but will go for two ISPs and not sure again if PBR can be configured? So that traffic from say LAN-2 192.168.5.0 will be natted to WAN1 while traffic from LAN-3 172.16.24.0/24 will be natted through DMZ.
