WAN Link Failover - if link is down after a dedicated downtime

ChrisGER

Hello Community,
i've established an XG firewall in a two stage/vendor security area directly at the ISP connect.
This configuration is placed in a remote location and i hope, the following challange is possible.

My challange
Is there a possibility to configure a celluar device at the XG firewall for the following challange
- the celluar device is by default offline (not connected to the 3G/4G/LTE network.

- if the primary cable connect is down for more than xxx seconds, the celluar device shift to online (dial-in) and overtake the connectivity and serve avalibility of local VoiP/FoIP devices until the issue is solved and the primary link is online.

- the celluar device should go offline (disconnected), if the primary link is back and working.

Is that possible, or is it only manually possible?


Thanks forward
Christian

     By default offline is not possible. You can use the other interface as "Backup". 

    In this process, the Cellular will only be used in case the active connection is offline OR you address a firewall policy to use this interface. 

    You can setup everything but not with a "offline" cellular, it will always be logged in and communicate couple of packets (basic keep alive).

    Thanks for the quick response,
    is there a matrix of "supported" or "tested" USB dungles for XG firewalls ?
    in another post is written ".... the dongle needs to be compatible to Linux in order to operate on XG"

    Is the Linux support the requirement for usage at XG Firewall ?


    Thnks and best regards
