NAT Port Forward on Dual WAN Link
Hi,
I have a network with one LAN and dual WAN links. The router is configured with WAN failover but there seems to be a problem with port forwarding. SSH port of LAN IP 192.168.0.2 is forwarded but when the WAN failover occurs (primary WAN goes down and secondary is active) the port forward stops working. I would like the port forward to be active on both primary and secondary WAN so during failover, the port can get accessed by the secondary WAN.
Please view the config below and help would be appreciated.

It seems to me, in the dim past, there could be an issue of maintaining an SSH type of connection when the WAN switched.
For that reason, in load balancing mode, one might bind a protocol to one of the WANs.
And, for that reason, in failover mode, one might expect to have to reinitialize a connection.
Something to consider and research.....

Can you see the LAN WAN1 WAN2 in your firewall rule section, if so you have to add duplicate inbound entry for your secondary wan interface.
Do you have WAN fail over for both direction or only for outbound.

ASKER
The router is Cisco 2911. The WAN failover is working fine. As you can see the port forward rule is set on static on Primary-ISP which is the following:
ip nat source static tcp 192.168.0.2 22 interface GigabitEthernet0/1 22
I want this port forward rule to work after the WAN failover takes place.
ip nat source static tcp 192.168.0.2 22 interface GigabitEthernet0/1 22

Can your source be set to any IP on any interface?
Is the source using the port aware of the 2nd WAN IP address?
