      Here in Texas the power will go out from time to time. The problem manifests when the telecom ONT has a power loss and the rest of my network stays up (while on battery). It should in theory failover to the 4G WAN2 backup, but pfSense never actually declares the fiber WAN as DOWN in this scenario.

      In the GUI the gateway status gets stuck as Gathering Data or Unknown. I've gone as far as cranking down the thresholds but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

      I do see the loss hitting 100%:

      Sep 16 18:59:39 	rc.gateway_alarm 	1196 	>>> Gateway alarm: WAN_DHCP (Addr:9.9.9.9 Alarm:1 RTT:0ms RTTsd:0ms Loss:100%)

      1 - K1zU34g.png

      2 - 8FKJSy5.png

      If I pull the RJ45 out of the interface or manually mark it as down the gateway will declare itself as such correctly and switch to the the cellular WAN.

      Running 2.7.2-RELEASE on a Netgate device.
