Title: [SOLVED] Gateway Monitor IP
Post by: pr3p on November 23, 2016, 02:52:50 am

Hi guys why its not possible to set on monitor ip with the same ip address like i want to use 208.67.220.220.

My setup: my wan dsl is dhcp so the gateway and public ip is dynamic.

Gateway Monitors need static routes in order to make them use to the correct WAN link. That's why you can't use it to monitor two separate links. It's an inherent restriction in the way the monitoring was designed.
