3 WAN with load balancing n failover

ashima

Hello,

I have 3 leased lines (11 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 5Mbps). I want to do following setup :

Load Balance WAN A + WAN B
Failover between WAN A and (Load balance between WAN B + WAN C with 2:1 weight) ie if WAN A fails traffic should load balance between Wan B and Wan C.
Failover between WAN B and WAN C

To do so I have created Gateway group

WanAWanB

WanA WanB
Tier 1 1
Weight 1 1

WanAUP

WanA WanB WanC
Tier 1 2 2
Weight 1 2 1

WanBUp
WanB WanC
Tier 1 2

In Firewall LAN Rules

Allow all LAN Traffic through WanAWanB
Allow all LAN Traffic Through WanAUP
Allow all LAN Traffic through WanBUP

Is my setup correct. Any Suggestions

Greetings,

This is how I made it work finally.

Created a Gateway Group Grp1 –-- WAN A WAN B WAN C
Tier 1 1 2

This is acting as load balance between WAN A n WAN B .... if WAN A/WAN B fails traffic goes through WAN B/WAN A respectively... if both fails traffic goes through WAN C.

I didn't create separate Groups for load balancing and failover as suggested by pfsense official documentation.

Though I couldn't test load balancing as WAN A is down from last 10 days.

Thank You
Ashima

hi,
so in the end you resolve the issue only by tiers ?
non wheigh were used?

hi,

Yes I have kept the weight settings as default. It was required if I do a load balance between WAN B(~9 Mbps) n WAN C (~5 Mbps).
