Bug in Default gateway selection
-
I don't want. It was an error selecting None. But until discover this was the error... it was possible to discover too that the behaviour is not to apply the choice imediatly, so the difficulty in finding the root cause.

Mmm, that does seem unexpected. Though the globe icon indicates which gateway is default and it still showed which was correct.
I assume it was not shown after rebooting? -
@stephenw10
Exactly. -
Did it log an error when setting the gateway to none? Something that might indicate it was unable to remove the default route?

No, I couldn't find any error in the logs. I found this only (under Status menu -> System Logs -> System -> Gateways):Jun 22 14:27:33 dpinger 44595 send_interval 500ms loss_interval 2000ms time_period 60000ms report_interval 0ms data_len 1 alert_interval 1000ms latency_alarm 500ms loss_alarm 20% dest_addr <WAN gateway IP> bind_addr <WAN IP> identifier "WANGW "

Hmm, that's just dpinger restarting, which is expected when you make any gateway change.

Coming back to the two points I have suggested in the first topic:
1 - it could have a better message after changing the default gateway field;
2 - it could apply the change immediatly, or print a message alerting the user about what will happen.
Could be submitted a suggestion for improvement? (so it can be fixed, or it could have at least a message informing...). -

@Fabiano1 I have had similar behavior. However, CARP was still involved, which was also the reason for the problem.
But from the description it sounds very similar.
