      i have a question that is pretty simple i 'think'…

      i have a secondary WAN (cellular, with data cap) setup and working that i want to use for a FAIL-OVER link ONLY. i DO NOT want this secondary WAN to do load balancing in any shape or form!

      for instance...WAN1 routing interface notes an outage, and WAN2 (the secondary cellular link) picks up all of the traffic until WAN1 comes back up.

      my question is this...do i simply remove the load-balancing guidelines from the following video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omuklZrzopM)

      or is there a better way to accomplish this fairly simple setup?
