gateway group : ending up with no default route after a network restart while the gateways where ok
-
hello all
i have a setup with a firewall pair and multiple gateways in a group. tier1 is a single gateway monitored with 1.1.1.1, other gateways use similar setups but different ping ips
i recently added a network interface and restarted the master firewall services using rc.reload_all
the carp vips switched back and forth as expected : the statuses on both firewalls were consistent.
nevertheless the default gateway was deleted and only came up again after is manually switched to one of the gateways
i switched back to the group without further issue
i could see a few complaints from dpinger stating it detected over 20% packet loss but that was only punctual and i assume due to carp
in the general log, there is no log from /system_gateway_groups.php between the carp failover and the moment i switched thing back manually
any ideas regarding how to debug further ?
any way to instruct pfsense to keep the first gateway active at all times ?
anyone knows which component deals with the gateway changes ?
if i remove all routes, will pfsense toy with my configuration ? i have existing working scripts for gateway failover and can use them
thanks for your time

errata : i mean stick in the first gateway whenever pfsense detects none are working
