ER605 as VPN client with link backup WAN/WAN2
ER605 as VPN client with link backup WAN/WAN2
I have 2 VPN tunnels (ER605 as client),
Problem is that they are down when router switched on backup link.(primary WAN Offline)
Is there any way to reconnect vpn client on backup WAN?
If the main WAN is offline for a long time, what is the solution to the situation?

Hi @YuriyB
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
IPsec supports failover mode. But that is not based on the link backup but on at least two active WANs.
But what you described is a load balance situation. VPN is based on the WAN failover.
Have you tried to set up two tunnels on WAN interfaces? As the backup is offline and the tunnel should not be effective. Will this setup work? When failover works, it brings down primary and up backup, will the tunnels work along the described situation?

Yes
Router is connecting to VPN servers from WAN and WAN2 at the same time :) making four tunnels
As the backup is offline and the tunnel should not be effective.
Backup offline but routing table is working with another metric for it. so Tunnel is effective.
Will this setup work?
No :(

If so, that cannot be done on the system now.
Now, it only has IPsec failover.
