(Solve)FailOver not switching.
-
Yes that's the expected behaviour if you have state flushing set.
That setting comes from a time when there was no alternative in pf. We are now looking at a better solution there, remove the states only for the gateway that went down. There's no ETA on that though.

@stephenw10 is the same configuration in 2.7.2 or is new change?
-
Which configuration exactly?
-
@stephenw10 Configuration "State Killing on Gateway Failure".
-
Nope in 2.7.2 you can choose to kill states only on the gateway that is down:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-misc.html#state-killing-on-gateway-failure -
@stephenw10 This option "Kill states for all gateways which are down"?
-
Yup
-
@stephenw10 Can you comment on the functionallity listed here: https://www.netgate.com/blog/netgate-to-enhance-gateway-recovery-in-pfsense-plus-version-24.03 will this be available in a CE release at any point? I have an expensive backup link and states don't reset on failback so I end up needing to take a manual action to reset them on 2.7.2
Thanks for your help
-
No plans to add that to CE at this time.
-
@stephenw10 Thanks for confirming.
