Description

In Pfsense 2.3.3_p1 when i turn off the default gateway the expected gateway don't takes over.

  • Steps to reproduce :
    Put default gateway offline, for exemple simuling failure.
    ifconfig "interface" down
  • Actual result :
    First gateway in list (System -> Routing -> Gateways) becomes new default gateway (selected by the ID).
  • Expected result :
    We would like to choose which gateway becomes new default gateway.

This not really a bug but this can cause unplanned failures.

My painful workaround to change ID :
- disable the static routes of default gateway
- delete the IP address of this same gateway (because we can't have the same IP address in 2 gateways)
- create new gateway with same options
- change gateway of static routes
- delete old gateway
- enable static routes

Cheers !
