Issue: With both connections up and running i do not have an issue. The firewall picks a link and then traffic flows correctly. However when i test the fail-over i do not get the results i want. I tried these tests with both Automatic monitoring as well as hosts i put in with the same results. Below are the tests:
Both links up and host using Comcast for internet:
- fail the Comcast link and the traffic seamlessly fails to fios (Perfect)
- turn the Comcast back on host stays on fios (Perfect)
Both links up and host using fios for internet:
- fail the fios link and the traffic drops and does not fail to Comcast
- turn the fios back on host comes back up but on the Comcast link
- if while the fios link is still failed i shut down the fios interface traffic immediately moves to Comcast and traffic flows.
So when i review Interfaces & Routing > Uplink Monitoring during this process i see that the fios link shows as down; but traffic does not switch over. Again if i shut the interface then traffic immediately goes over the Comcast link.
One other thing to note. Since i have an active active pair i have both internet connections terminated into a switch and then the firewall interfaces plugged into the switch. So when i fail the internet connection i unplug it from the switch such that the 320's interfaces don't go down. The whole reason we monitor upstream hosts...
Any help would be great. Thanks
