Dual WAN pfSense2.0 Interface refuses to come up
-
pfSense 2.0 2.0-RC2 (i386)
I have setup multi wan with monitor IPs and everything mainly for failover purposes and forcing some traffic out one interface. However occasionally the wireless based WAN interface will drop causing the interface to go down, the strange part is that it never seems to come back on its own and takes some intervention ie restarting the router, restarting apinger/loadbalancing, or reloading configuration and forcing everything to reload
The Wireless WAN router's status page shows it is connected to our ISP and its built in ping utility can ping the monitor IP (a DNS server at the ISP)
Our problem is that we try to keep FTP and SFTP uploads going out the wireless WAN because as soon as they start to go out the DSL WAN (which we use for mainly downloads and endusers) the latency spikes and causes everything to be unusable
To sum it up, why would the interface not be able to come up on its own even when the router pfsense is connected to shows everything is fine
also in System>Routing>GW_WAN under Advanced does the Down option mean this is how long it will mark the interface as down before trying again (which i have set to 5)
