Title: wan failover with same PUBLIC IP Post by: razorjack on Monday 25 July 2011, 07:10:29 pm Hi all, sorry if I start with a common problem,
I try to set a failure wan connection with my installation of EFW have 3 lan port 2 red and 1 green one of these red is the main connection, second obiously is the backup connection, ISP when main connection goes down and I start the backup, assign same Public IP that I have in the main connection... all ok if I do it manually.. but when I set the backup by EFW, setting failover connection, setting the host to test, main uplink try 3 times to connect then switch to backup! woaa all ok!! here the problem.. after 2 minutes or 3, EFW Try to establish a new connection with main uplink and close the backup!! and the backup uplink stay down forever... why?? (only things that I see in log is a strange entry tells "cannot shutdown main uplink" but in home page of EFW it tell failure of the main uplink..) thanks for you help I hope there's a solution becouse ISP want 80€ per month for a cisco router to do this!!!
