      Good day. On a 2 WANs with both having 100 Mbps, the four VLANs were spread out to fully use the available bandwidth from the WANs. And when a WAN (for example WAN_1) is down then the bandwidth allocation of the VLANs in the limiters are currently manually edited to ensure there's no overallocation of bandwidth, and then edited back to original values when WAN_1 became active again. Is there a way to have the limiter's bandwidth allocation to automatically increase or decrease depending on whether both WANs are active, only WAN_1 is active, and only WAN_2 is active?

      For example when both WANs are active VLAN10 will get 85 Mbps but this will automatically decrease to 50 Mbps when WAN_2 is down. Or is the correct way to setup failover to allocate only half of the bandwidth for the WANs to ensure a single WAN can fully take over when the other WAN is down?

        Good day. I would like to follow up on this. How is the bandwidth allocated in your multi-wan failover setup? Please let me know also if my understanding is not correct or if this is not doable. Thank you
