Title: OPNsense 19.1 High Availability [CLOSED]
Post by: bdario on February 12, 2019, 02:40:39 pm

Hello there,
I need to configure a couple of firewall with Internet connection in High Avalability, so in case of down of the connection to Provider 1 the communication is routed on the radio link to Provider 2
In attached the image of the architecture that I would like to realise
Can some "Guru" validate or correct my solution?
Thanks so much
Best regards
Dario

Looks OK, assuming printers are on a dedicated VLAN with proper FW rules

I would try to add both uplinks to both firewalls so if FW1 goes down, you don't need to switch the uplink. So I would suggest a switch in front of them if possible.

Thanks Fabian,
they chose a multi-wan solution with just one firewall.
Best regards
