There is an option to enable failover traffic from pfsense itself, go to System -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous - *Allow default gateway switching.* * * To failover traffic from LAN, you have to create Gateway Groups, System -> Routing -> Groups. After that, edit the firewall rules from LAN to choose the gateway group.
