23.1 Legacy Series / Multi-WAN GW Failover when using PPoE and 4g/LTE as WAN
« on: March 15, 2023, 01:09:47 pm »
The OPNsense Documentation is excellent around Gateway groups / Multi WAN and I was able to follow this in a test environment on my new DEC675 unit without any issues.
This test involves 2 DHCP WAN connections.
In the real world I'll be using a UK vDSL connection (PPPoE) as WAN and a Robustel 4G/LTE router as WAN2.
As soon as I change the WAN from DHCP to to use PPoE, the failover no longer works.
I can get internet connection using the PPoE configuration but what's strange is that when I look under System>Gateways>Single I see a new gateway called "WAN_GW" which is marked as active and is using IPv6 and I'm not using IPv6 anywhere. I'm not sure if this is causing the issues as it seems to take priority over the actual WAN gateway that is also listed.
Has anybody managed to setup PPoE as part of a GW Failover group succesfully?
I'm using a brand new DEC675 appliance from Deciso and OPNsense Business Edition Version 22.10.2
