Failover only?

josey

Is it possible to setup failover only ? without load balancing ?

I have one isp link on wan and i want it to be primary
and have second link on opt1 interface, and i just want it to be gateway if primary link is down…

i have setup that like this

name: failover
description: failover
behavior: failover
monitoring: other - WAN isp dns IP
interface: WAN

added
monitornig: other - OPT1 isp dns IP
interface: OPT1

In firewall added rule * to use "failover"

it is not working like this ...

suggestions ?

thanks

Make sure your failover pool still has both interfaces.

They are, but, no luck …
pfs 1.2.2. final....
working great, and please dont tell me to upgrade to 1.2.3. :)

Check the status to see if they are both online to verify that the monitoring is working correctly.

yup, i have setup all ready 3 wans with loadbalance and failover but proxy isnt working with loadbalance, and i have change ISP, and now im using two different isps, and i want failover, if wan 1 fails wan 2 have to take traffic until wan 1 is online again.

If you're using Squid that will only go out WAN, traffic from the firewall itself can't use your balancing/failover.

If you need to use squid, you could put it on a separate firewall or server that is behind pfSense.
