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

    Hello guillaume bottollier,
    yes .... this is a small remote office, where "normaly" the primary link is working without any issues.
    The suggestion "why offline" is depending to the contract for the celluar card. This card has no monthly charges - if this is not used (online). If the link is permament up "dialed in", there is a daily fee and volume in charge by the provider.

    In the last 5 years, we had one day, where the provider link was down for about 3 hours and we had to switch voip and reduced mail traffic to the celluar collection until the provider fixed the mistake/issue.

     

    Regards

    Hello,

    Ok, weird provider...

    you should consider the "manual" plug of the LTE device in case of failure, because if it's not online, XG can't check the connectivity and won't route traffic through
