Trouble with load balance seting up two sites firewall with private lines
-
I'm having trouble with load balance, seting up two sites firewalls with private lines.
This is my basic setup, I'm using for test:Site 1 Private fiber and T1 line Site 2
–----OPT1=10.0.0.1------10.0.0.2=OPT1-------
192.168.0.1/24=LAN----- ----LAN=192.168.1.1
------OPT2=10.0.1.1-----10.0.1.1=OPT2-------Site 1
Interfaces
LAN = 192.168.0.1/24 gw default
Opt1 = 10.0.0.1/24 gw 10.0.0.2
opt2 = 10.0.1.1/24 gw 10.0.1.2Load balance
Balancer 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.2
10.0.1.2 10.0.1.2Firewall Rule
LAN = * LAN * 192.168.1.0/24 * Balancer
OPt1 = * * * * *
OPt2 = * * * * *Site 2
Interfaces
LAN = 192.168.1.1/24 gw default
Opt1 = 10.0.0.2/24 gw 10.0.0.1
opt2 = 10.0.1.2/24 gw 10.0.1.1Load balance
Balancer 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1
10.0.1.1 10.0.1.1Firewall Rule
LAN = * LAN * 192.168.0.0/24 * Balancer
OPt1 = * * * * *
OPt2 = * * * * *- I'm not using any NAT settings.
-When it stats I can ping both sides.
-If I remove the first link it isn't switching to the other one.
-The status Load balance monitor IP shows right the status of the links, when up or down.
-Looks like the Lan rule (balance) stays in the first route.
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks in advanced

Gotcha!!
For some reason, if it doesn't use the WAN port, the loadbalance/failover function is just ignored.
I was leaving to configure the wan later, because my main concern was about the trafic between the firewalls, not the internet. So, that was my error at the first place.
I will try post a tutorial when I have my setup working properly. Btw, I realise you guys are using "wink" to make tutorials, it is very easy to use, free and make great tutorials.Anyways, thanks.

It was just a positive comment. After a long time dealing with this problem, probable I don't make much sense anymore ;D
