Hi ALL,

I have installed EFW-2.5.1 Community Edition with 4 NIC's where in:

ETH0 --> GREEN
ETH1 --> DMZ
ETH2 --> RED#1
ETH3 --> RED#2

I have static IP's from both the RED's (2 Different ISP's) and have assigned the same to ETH2 & ETH3. I have also configured that both these NIC's are managed by the EFW (WebGUI --> System --> Dashbaord --> Uplinks).

While installing I created Green, Orange, RED Zones and assigned static IP's to them. After the system was installed, I assigned RED#2 IP to ETH3 and made it manageable. I also created secondary / backup uplink under WebGUI --> Network --> Interfaces and selected the options viz.,

"Uplink is Enabled" ,  "Start Uplink on Boot" , "Uplink is Managed" , "check if hosts are reachable" (gave IP's 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220) and "If this uplink fails activate Main (main)".

I edited the Main (main) uplink and selected the above Uplink settings with change being that "if this uplink fails activate Backup Uplink (uplink1)".

Now for testing, I plug out the Main ISP (ETH2 / RED#1), so that the EFW fails-over to Backup ISP (ETH3 / RED#2). Here, the EFW does fail-over only at the EFW host and Internet Connectivity is lost to the network, meaning Only EFW host has Internet Connectivity and can ping various hosts through the backup link, but the hosts / systems in GREEN / ORANGE network cannot reach Internet.

How to make Internet Available to all the hosts behind EFW-Host, when we fail-over to backup Link?
