      I am new to Pfsense,but I would like to set failover on my Pfsense:

      What I have got:

      1 soekris(installed Pfsense 1.2.2) with 2 WANs and 1 LAN interface,
      1 router,
      2 WAN,one is static IP,one is PPPoe.

      Can you give some guidance on this?

      My purpose is that it prefers WAN2 if WAN1 fails.
      Thanks in advance

        First upgrade

        Needs to be wan=pppoe

        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN_Version_1.2.x
        http://pfsense.site88.net/multiwan.html

        Or better yet, buy the book and support the project

          Thanks for your guidance,
          I have followed it,and I can get ping of the gateway of WAN2  now.
          I have set the PPPoe in the router,and set it as WAN2.
          but after I can not connect to the internet after stop WAN.

          Any advice?
