Gateway changes requires reboot

[gx]

Hi All

I have a dual wan configuration and this morning one of the wan connections went out, the failover did not happen as expected so I manually tried to disable the one interface from the group, after many tries of 'apply changes' 'restart service' changing default gateway nothing worked and I had no internet connection (except for some machines that use only the failover line)

Finally I decided to reboot the machine and it worked fine.

I was on 17.7.7 (now upgraded to 17.7.8)

Has anyone else experienced having to reboot for gateway changes to take effect?
At first I thought there may be an error in my config settings that the failover did not work but now im wondering if there is an issue with the service not working as expected.

When I first set this up it worked fine and I tested it by pulling the ethernet cable from the machine to simulate a down isp.

What is this type of gateway? DHCP? PPPOE? Static?
When using Multi WAN you have to tick all 3 options on Multi WAN and Gateway Switching

Hi mimugmail

one wan is static the other is dhtp
when you refer to all 3 option do you mean  "Default Gateway", "Far Gateway " and "Disable Gateway Monitoring"

Gateway switching
Sticky connections
Shared forwarding
Disable force gateway

Thanks mimugmail

It took me a while to find these options they are in firewall::settings::advanced

Gateway switching was on
Sticky connections was on
Shared forwarding was off
Disable force gateway was off

I set them all to on and will test it
