Multiwan gateway goes down and never goes up again
-
Hello,
I have al Multiwan setup with a primary Internet Provider (cabel) and a backup Internet Provider (DSL).
The pfsense is a client in the Networks of the two routers (no Bridge mode).
I tried here Static IPs and DHCP, to give the pfsense the Ip.
Now here is my situation:
I have a Gatewaygroup (IPv4) with the cabel beeing the Tier 1 and the DSL the Tier 2. Both Gateways have Monitoring active (cabel pings Cloudflare DNS, DSL pings google DNS).
For some reason at random times the cabel Gateway goes Down, but can Ping the DNS or other Internet sites with the Ping Test.
Then I force the DSL to be inactive the cabel goes up again.Has someone a Idea that I can try to get it to work?

We saw something similar yesterday. It looked like it saw WAN1 was up but left WAN2 as the default. If you go into the gateway groups page and, without making changes, save the group, does it start using WAN1?
-
Hello,
yes after saving the Gatewaygroup and reloading the Service the WAN1 is up again.
Do you have a fix for this? -
No. We had some issues at this client in 2.4.4 with the fail-back not working and ended up running a cron script to load the gateway page. That didn't work in our case, a few days after upgrading. We poked and prodded for a while (over an hour) and eventually found saving that group (without any changes) changed the default gateway back.
Given there's two of us that might imply something with 2.4.5. Since the router's at a client I can't do much troubleshooting but if you can replicate you might open a support ticket or a bug report at redmine.pfsense.org.
