If you are looking for redundancy on the WAN uplink then the way to do it
is with bonded interfaces not bridged interfaces, assuming the other end
supports bonds (also known as Link Aggregation) then the network layer will
take care of it all. Astlinux out-of-the-box does not support bonded

Hi Lonnie
It's the firewalls that are configured for failover using FireCluster. They use
VRRP as I just found out:

Interesting, but I don't quite understand how the upstream multihomed link
works.
If the AstLinux WAN bridge interface has a static IP and gateway, how is this a
failover situation ... unless like you mentioned a VRRP (keepalived) setup.
Is the AstLinux static gateway IP ARP'ing to different MA
It's a static address with the gateway address shared on the firewalls as
active and standby. Not sure if they have a virtual address like VRRP but
doesn't make any difference from Astlinux's perspective.
I did some testing and all seemed to work. Its on a Qotom box so I assume

Hi Michael,
It would be a special case where you would want the WAN to be a bridge
interface.
How is the WAN interface's IP address defined?
I'm not sure how your two WAN trunks are routed to your bridge interface.
But, if a 2-port ethernet switch would work, so should a 2-interface linux

Hi Group
I have set up two ports on my Astlinux box into a bridge and allocated to the
WAN interface. These ports are connected behind a primary and failover
Watchguard firewall as a DMZ interface. The LAN interface connects to the Voice
VLAN making this system a VPN router only for about 70 ph
