This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I'm attempting to do policy based routing, directing all LAN traffic to/from a website over a specific WAN (WAN/LAN1) port. Basically one WAN has a higher upload rate so I want to use that interface. I'm also using the Omada OC200 controller.
I've created an IP Group with the destination IP address (cloudflare), so my setup looks like the following image below. However, traffic is still being routed over my primary WAN ("WAN").
I've enabled link backup (and that works), but unlike the ER605 interface there isn't a specific "Enable Load Balancing" checkbox on the Omada web interface.
Am I missing something? This seems like it should be possible/should work, but it's not.
@johnmontfx create New range ip. After create New ip group. After acssociate ip for group. Finally create policy
Link Backup enables the options in the red box:
I don't think you want that option though, at least not as your primary mode. It seems to me that you want Active/Active on your two WANs, but you want to steer Cloudflare traffic to the fatter pipe, always. After re-reading the thread it sounds like there is an option in Standalone Mode that allows Load Balancing on top of Link Backup and that the Controller interface doesn't provide that secondary option? If not, you'll need to put a feature request into the Requests and Suggestion forum here.
I think perhaps the simplest way to achieve most of what you want is to create two Policy routes, and an IP_Group for your LAN subnet(s). Leave the Link Backup as Disabled, but both WAN and WAN1 should be up and running all the time.
The Policy Routes should then be added in order of importance.
1. Source=MySubnets Destination=CloudflareIPs WAN=Wireless
2. Source=MySubnets Destination=All_PublicIPs WAN=Starlink
When you create the PRs, be sure to tick the 'use other WAN' box
which will provide your 'link' backup for both rules (ie if Starlink goes
down, all traffic will use Wireless, if Wireless goes down, Cloudflare
traffic will go via Starlink.)
