BUG? Failover fails if PPTP Redirection is enabled.
-
I have a dual WAN failover gateway group (Tier 1 and Tier 2). If the PPTP service is set to redirection and Tier 1 fails, I get this in the logs:
Mar 28 00:53:08 php: : The command '/sbin/pfctl -o basic -f /tmp/rules.debug' returned exit code '1', the output was '/tmp/rules.debug:62: macro '' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:62: syntax error /tmp/rules.debug:63: macro '' not defined pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded' Mar 28 00:53:08 php: : New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:62: macro '' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:62: syntax error /tmp/rules.debug:63: macro '' not defined pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded The line in question reads [62]: rdr on $ proto gre from any to any -> 10.0.0.9 Mar 28 00:53:08 php: : There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:62: macro '' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:62: syntax error /tmp/rules.debug:63: macro '' not defined pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [62]: rdr on $ proto gre from any to any -> 10.0.0.9It doesn't failover and the Tier 2 gateway is no where to be seen in the routing table.
If I set the PPTP service to disabled then it works fine and the routing table gets updated with the Tier 2 gateway.
