Description

I have recently added a second WAN link and notice that around once every 8 or so hours my default route is broken and changes to a mac address instead of an IP address.

Gateway monitoring is enabled but is not tripping to cause this.
Additionally i cannot find anything around the time of route change in any logs.

Both WAN links are coming in over a trunk port on separate vlans.

I have attached two screenshots one showing the mac and one showing it as an IP (the correct way).

I have my default gateway set to the one the is change to a MAC address.
If i hit save on the gateway page it restores back correctly.
The bug was also happening on 2.5.0

Please let me know if i can provide more information.

To also be clear, the MAC address is that of igb0.661
igb0 is the trunk interface
igb0.661 is the vlan that losing the route
igb0.662 is the vlan that has second wan over PPPoE
