24.7 Production Series / Re: WAN gateway not going back up after Internet outage
« on: August 27, 2024, 05:48:32 am »
Testing the other day with the first patch seemed to go ok with failing over and then back when unplugging and plugging the WAN cable. I had a real outage today though and everything failed over to the backup WAN perfectly but then did not come back when the primary was healthy again.
I've just applied Franco's patch 0c9d8c94 now, and tested by unplugging and plugging again and that also worked fine.
But then I had a thought and tested it by unplugging the coax cable on the primary WAN instead of the NIC, The failover to backup worked fine but when the coax was reconnected there was presumably no reconnect event and the primary was not detected up again.
After that unplugging and replugging the NIC also didn't fail to the primary until I just clicked Apply in the System-Gateways-Configuration page and the primary came back to life.
