This is where you add and configure your WAN connections. Each configured WAN will create one IPsec tunnel.

When you have multiple WANs you can attribute different priorities to each one. Lower values mean a higher priority. This translates in Connector routing traffic through the higher priority WANs or, more precisely, over the IPsec tunnels established over that interface. On the other hand, if you configure multiple WANs of equal priority, traffic will be distributed over those links through (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) ECMP routing.

Creating several WAN connections also means Connector can failover between circuits according to their health.

### High-capacity use cases

For high-capacity use cases, multiple tunnels can be established with equal priority. Outgoing traffic is then distributed across all available connections using an ECMP routing algorithm, which balances the load base. Refer to [Equal-cost multi-path routing](/magic-wan/reference/traffic-steering/#equal-cost-multi-path-routing)for more information.

If you need to configure multiple tunnels for the same WAN profile, [set up multiple WAN connections](/magic-wan/configuration/connector/configure-hardware-connector/#2-create-a-wan). Each WAN is assigned one IPsec tunnel.

-**Interface number:** When using the hardware version of Connector, this refers to the Ethernet port that you are using for your WAN. If you need a throughput higher than 1 Gbps, you can use one of the SFP+ ports. Refer to [SFP+ port information](/magic-wan/configuration/connector/configure-hardware-connector/sfp-port-information/) for more information on the hardware supported.

If you are using Virtual Connector, this needs to correspond to the virtual network interface on the Virtual Connector instance you have set up in VMware.

-**Priority**: Assigns a priority to the WAN interface. Lower numbers have higher priority. Refer to [Traffic steering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/magic-wan/reference/traffic-steering/) to learn more about how Cloudflare calculates priorities.

-**Health check rate:** Configures the health check frequency for your WAN. Options are low, mid, and high. Refer to [Update tunnel health checks frequency](https://developers.cloudflare.com/magic-wan/configuration/common-settings/tunnel-health-checks/) for more information.

-**Static addressing:** Configures the type of IP addressing for your Connector. Depending on your use case, this is where you configure your LAN interface IP address, or enable DHCP server or DHCP relay. Refer to [DHCP options](/magic-wan/configuration/connector/network-options/dhcp/) to learn more.
