Problem:

 

I have a problem with the Load Balancing on my ER7206. My primary ISP is FREE.FR with Freebox Rev (Router mode); my backup ISP is my MR6400 with a LTE 4G connection. My primary link is breakdown for 3 days. My Freebox is alive but no Internet connection. The ER7206 don’t swap on the backup link automatically. I must unplugged the primary cable to force the backup link on 4G. Then, i have Internet connection. No problem with that. But when i plugged again the primary cable, the backup link is balancing on primary connection. But the primary ISP don’t working… I don’t understand, the ER7206 don’t check an URL or a DNS to validate the connexion. It looks like the primary connection is always alive when the cable is plugged.

 

What is my problem in my configuration; i have missed something ?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Hi @nettb

 

Thank you for posting the issue to our community.

Did you also enable Load Balancing feature on ER7206?

 

You can also go to Online Detection, set the mode as Manual, type in 8.8.8.8 on the Ping IP address, and set DNS Lookup as 8.8.4.4.

Hello everybody.

 

@Hank21 Thanks !

Your advice is right.

I have modified the Online Detection on my Omada SDN in Site section with the DNS 8.8.8.8 manually.

When i unplug the cable or when i disable the Internet fiber, the load balancing was fully functional.

When i plug or enable the Internet fiber, the primary is ok.

 

The problem is solved.

Thanks again.
