22.1 Legacy Series / Re: WAN failover problem - Seems to route through wrong WAN interface
« on: November 21, 2022, 08:03:50 pm »
Yes. I have 4 NICs physically on my OPNsense firewall. WAN1, WAN2, LAN, spare
If WAN1 (preferred / heavier weighted) fails and the firewall fails-over to WAN2 it sticks on WAN2 and never fails-back to WAN1 when it comes back online. I have normally had to physically unplug WAN2 for a short duration to create the fail-back to WAN1 - which works but not how it's supposed to work.
Both WAN1 and WAN2 are DHCP with manually configured DNS.
WAN failover configured as per the OPNsense documentation.
Has there been any work on this issue?

I don't have a solution to this as I am struggling to design a failover setup myself.
Question: What is your hardware config for the basic failover setup from WAN1 to WAN2?
WAN1-----|
| OPNSense Router |----->LAN
WAN2-----|
I guess what I really want to know is: are the ethernet ports for both WAN1 and WAN2 both physically on the OPNSense router? My router only has two physical ethernet ports: WAN and LAN. I'm trying to figure out if I need to upgrade the hardware to accomodate 2 WANs (att broadband, att cellular) + LAN, or is there some other workaround?
