[NOTABUG] [7.350] Dumb Question ? Only one gateway can be defined ?

I was just wondering how the fail over or multipath in uplink balancing is going to work if Astaro only lets you define one default gateway for one interface ?

Sorry if this is a really dumb question [:)] I am itching to try this, was also wondering what this means ?

Itf. Persistence:

Hi Phil,

if you add interfaces to the uplink loadbalancing we automatically enable default gateways on all added interfaces.

Hi Gert, OK so I rephrase what I said before, you can actually define more than one gateway but only activate one, so for the fail over uplink balancing to work properly you have to define a gateway on each WAN link, only problem is that it does not force nor check this and it does not work without it, well as far as I can see anyways.

Hi Phil,

If you first go enable uplink balancing, the webadmin will then enable the default gateway option on all the connections you select to use as part of the balancing, defaulting to DHCP for the gateway option. if you need then to change / edit this, just go to interfaces and make the desired adjustments.
