      Hi All,

      We have two PFsense firewall for HA purpose. In normal status, PFsense A is the active firewall and PFsense B is standby firewall. We found that the PFsense A connect to switch (Wan) cable was broken, PFsense B connect to switch (Wan) will be activate. However, PFsense B connect to switch (Lan) is still standby. Therefore, Client still cannot go to the internet. We need to power off the PFsense A, then PFsense B all interface will be activated. Client can go to the internet. Can we configure the PFsense B to change to active after it detect PFsnse A have issue in WAN interface? Please advise.

      Thanks,
      Tom
