      gsm2 modem, IP …40.10 (static) (directly by cable) -> WAN2 IP ...40.1  |
                                                                                                                      |-> LAN IP .... 4.0/24  (dhcp)
      gsm1 modem, IP ...50.10 (static) (trought switch)    > WAN1 IP ...50.1  |

      After adding multiwan gw groups, and firewall rules got working gateway monitoing on remote IP (google DNS).
      Loadbalancing TIER 1 for WAN1 & WAN2 do not work. When i plug off cable from WAN1, failover does not work.
      Maybe problem is that i'm trying get internet from same switch where i have dhcp for lan users ?
      Maybe i should make VLAN for gsm2 and WAN2 interface, and turn on dhcp at gsm2 ?

          Are you running any packages?  Squid?

            When you say "failover does not work" what do you mean specifically?

            You may have a firewall rule preventing traffic from the LAN routing over the other WAN connection.  Can you verify that a client on the LAN can route successfully out of both WAN connections?  I usually hit something like checkip.dyndns.org to see where I'm routing out of.
