Hey thanks for the response.<br />
<br />
The Primary WAN link is failing, X1. <br />
<br />
We are running the Enhanced 4.0.0.2-51e OS.<br />
<br />
Under WAN Failover and LB, here is how its set up:<br />
&nbsp; Primary WAN Ethernet Interface - X1<br />
&nbsp; Secondary WAN Ethernet Interface - X3<br />
&nbsp; Enable Load Balancing is Checked<br />
&nbsp; Basic Active/Passive Failover is set with <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Preempt and Failback to Primary WAN when possible is checked<br />
<br />
Last but not least the WAN Interfaces Monitoring is set to default<br />
<br />
Hope this helps. &nbsp;Thanks.

I have a Sonicwall Pro 2040 running Enhanced OS at a cliet site.<br />
<br />
When the primary WAN link goes down, the client has to literally unplug the link to that port (Port X1) for the backup WAN link to kick in (Port X3). &nbsp;I checked the settings and everything seems to be fine so i dont know any other settings that I may be missing or whatnot.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

WAN Failover not working properly.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
