Getting Link error when check Uplink Balancing

irfan
Hi 

Please look into my scenario and post the solution if any one know.

I have 2 Uplinks for ex L1 and L2 

L1 is connected to Interface eth1 and L2 on eth2
and eth0 is reserved for Internal network (LAN)

I wanted to make both link work with load balacing criteria 
I made all the possible settings related to Uplink and rule creation ,even though i facing proble that one link showing Interface as Up and Link as error
.
Please help me to come out of this.

    error or down ?
    If you have L2 or both with static ip, the unused IP or interface goes down if there is no traffic who uses that interface
    Try just pinging that ip x.x.x.x -t and see if it shows up in interfaces and uplink monitoring

    Only one Uplink is Showing Up and other one is showing Error , I enabled gateway for both and defined the Uplink balancing aswell ,even though the error exist.

    Uplink 1 -> is PPPoE connection
    Uplink 2 -> is DHCP cable modem connection (Which is showing error)

    "Error" means there is a connectivity error on your secondary uplink.
    Check the service_monitor log file why the monitoring fails.
    You can also disable the automatic monitoring and specify one or more monitoring hosts.

    Hi guys,

    Same problem here. Im running Sophos UTM 9, firmware 9.408-4.

    If i enable Uplink Balancing, one of my interfaces turn to ERROR (state=UP, link=ERROR). If i disable Uplink Balancing, the interface turn to UP again.

    I've tryied to change some settings on Uplink Balancing, but any of them could fix the problem.

    Any ideias?

    As da_merlin said, on the 'Uplink Balancing' tab, disable 'Automatic monitoring' and add your own Host.  I would use Google DNS 8.8.4.4.  Any luck with that?

    Cheers - Bob

    I realize this is a pretty old thread. However, had the same issue with my SG115 and UTM 9.605-1, having PPPoE on eth1 and Telekom Speedbox (Huawei LTE router) on eth2. Using 8.8.4.4 as monitoring host worked like a charm.

     

    Thanks!
