2 gateways on one interface
-
Hi,
I have been running pfsense sins 1.1 always in a dual wan mode. Well today I got my third wan connection but I have a problem I only have 3 network cards whit no possibility to add another one. So first thought router on a stick but there seems to be an issue in my environment whit that as well, so thats off the table. So I added the 3th gateway in the subnet for second gateway.
My Network (the subnet above the switch should be 192.168.2.x/24)
See upload 1I added the gateway
See upload 2I added the gateway to my loadbalancer pool
See upload 3My problem is upload 4.
Only the gateway that is selected on interface WAN is used. My question is this a limitation of pfsense or is this not my problem? Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.

Two gateways on one interface causes numerous complications that aren't easy to work around. A VLAN-capable switch and having the other modem off a VLAN is far, far easier to deal with.

Thanks for your response. There seems to be something interferring whit vlan's on my network. I dicided that i am going to upgrade one of my network cards to an intel quad cards they are on the market for 40-80 euro.
Perhaps change System: Gateways page to reflect this when attempting to add two gateways to the same interface.
Thanks for the support
