      I’m currently trying to model the setup I have in GNS3 and implement Failover.
      I have two sites connected via a dedicated 1Gb point to point leased line.
      Site WS has a 1Gb leased line to the internet
      Site HH has a 100Mb leased line to the internet

      I am trying to setup failover between the two sites via the P2P leased line.
      If I loose access to internet at either site, after a short while the P2P gateway becomes the default and data is routed over it, I can see the LAN on each side however I am unable to get out to the internet via the router on the other end of the P2P connection.
      I’m pretty sure it something very simple I’m missing but I really can’t see what it is at the moment and would appreciate some help.

      The current settings are
      WS Site
      Interfaces
      WAN EM0: xx.xx.xx.xx/28 GW_WAN Static IP of the 1GbLL Router
      WSP2PHH EM1: 10.10.100.1/24 GWAY 10.10.100.2
      LAN EM5: 192.168.1.1/24 DHCP 192.168.1.10-200

      Gateways:
      WS GW_WAN(Default) Static IP of the 1GBLL router
      WS GW_OPT1 10.10.100.2
      Static routes
      192.168.2.0/24 GW_OPT1 – 10.10.100.2 Interface WSP2PHH
      Gateway Groups
      WSP2PHHFailover
      GW_OPT1 Tier 1 Interface address
      GW_WAN Tier 1 Interface Address

      LAN Firewall rules
      IPV4 * LAN net * * * WSP2PHHFailover none Default allow LAN to any

      Advanced Settings.
      Networking:
      Reset all states if WAN IP Address changed.
      Miscellaneous
      Load balancing: Use Sticky Connections, enable default gateway switching
      GW Monitoring Flus all states when Gateway goes down and Do not create rules when gateway is down

      The HH site is an identical setup with these differences.
      Interfaces:
      HHP2PWS EM1: 10.10.100.2/24 GWAY 10.10.100.1
      LAN EM5: 192.168.2.1/24 DHCP 192.168.2.10-200
      Gateways:
      GW_OPT1 10.10.100.1
      Static routes
      192.168.2.0/24 GW_OPT1 – 10.10.100.2 Interface WSP2PHH

      Regards

        @Nick-Sharp said in Multiwan failover between two sites via P2P Leased line.:

        Static routes
        192.168.2.0/24 GW_OPT1 – 10.10.100.2 Interface WSP2PHH

        This should read...
        192.168.1.0/24 GW_OPT1 - 10.10.100.1 Interface HHP2PWS
