I have a machine running 2.1rc-i386.

I have dual WAN.

WAN - 196.200.26.114/30 (4096/4096Mbps)
OPT1 - 41.139.183.142/30   (512/512Kbps)


I am testing out the Failover situation with with Dual WAN.

Under System-> Gateways I have:

AK (default) WAN 196.200.x.x 196.200.x.x AK GW
OLEL LAN          192.168.40.1 192.168.40.1 Static Route to OLEL LAN
OPT1GW          OPT1 41.139.x.x 41.139.x.x SAFCOM GW

Under System->Gateway Groups I have:

Wan1FailoverWan2 AK           Tier 1
                                 OPT1GW Tier 2

Wan2FailoverWan1 AK          Tier 2
                                 OPT1GW Tier 1

Under firewall rules (LAN) I changed my "Default allow LAN to any" rule to
use the Wan2FailoverWAN2 group as the default gateway.

IPv4 *  LAN net * * * Wan1FailoverWan2 none Default allow LAN to any rule
IPv4 *  LAN net  *  *  *  Wan2FailoverWan1  none Default allow LAN to any
rule

The trigger level for the gateway groups is set to packet loss of high
latency

I also have the correct DNS servers for each of the WAN interfaces.

For some strange reason, when I pull out WAN1 cable, the failover does not
work. Even pfSense itself cannot check for version updates. However, If I
go to and run Diagnostics->Ping some-host-name using OPT1 as source
address, I get a response. I do not get a response when source the source
interface is set to default.

I wonder where I have the misstep, which makes the failover not to work.
 Another part that has left me confused is the inability to modify the
default gateway to enter a monitor IP.I get the error: The following input
errors were detected: You can not use a IPv4 Gateway Address on a IPv6 only
interface.
I don't have IPv6 configured on the default gateway.
