In dual wan setup, if the trunk is "active" and "active, the failover doesnt seem to work. However, if its setup as "Active" and "Passive", failover works flawlessly.

Does failover only work in "active" and "passive" setup?

    Testing here with a VPN300 with Ge4 and Ge7 both active works fine the trunk fail over only happens when the interface uplink goes down to either port for the other port to take over.

    I did a routeing rule
    incoming LAN
    next hop Trunk

    Problem is if the interface don't go down it thinks it still alive so on one of the interface you enable Connectivity Check

    Hi @HyungKim0105,

    Failover needs one interface to be a passive interface. The firewall uses two wan interface if both interfaces are active, and bases on the "Load Balancing Algorithm" you set to send traffic.
