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 :

1. Load Balance WAN A + WAN B
2. 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.
3. Failover between WAN B and WAN C

To do so I have created Gateway group

1. WanAWanB

WanA    WanB
  Tier      1        1
Weight    1        1

2. WanAUP

WanA    WanB    WanC
  Tier        1        2      2
Weight      1        2      1

3. 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).
