Hello,
I am going crazy with uplink balancing / multipath rules. Looking for advice on how to debug.
I have two external connections (eth1, eth2). One is reliable and slow, the other is 5x faster but goes down occasionally.
I have SIP phones (asterisk) and lots of other stuff.
I setup Uplink balancing for the two interfaces. Weight 100/100. 5 min persistence. Added multipath rules for the IP address of the phone setver to go out the reliable slow connection. Everything else out the fast connection. When an interface goes down, everything fails over to the good interface.
Everything appeared to be working fine... so what better to do then break it?
Then I reconfigured... Added a VLAN capable switch. Segmented out the phones and the phone server to its own VLAN. Have multiple VLANs on eth0. Each network has NAT masq setup to uplink interfaces. External interfaces on eth1/eth2 as before.
I setup the uplink balancing as before. Weight 100/100. 5 min persistence. Added multipath rules for the sip network.
Voice (network) -> any -> any -> ExternalSlow
General (network) -> any -> any -> ExternalFast
I connect laptop to the various networks and "what is my ip" shows the expected external address.
Then I turned on lots of systems. At first it looks correct from the dashboard/network usage graphs... but after a while, I notice lots of traffic in/out on General (network) and matching traffic on ExternalSlow. ExternalFast seams to be skipped.
I must be missing something. Running latest released version with updates yesterday. This is a test bench. If I can get this to work at home, will buy a asg120 for office use and go back to my old setup w/o VLANs at home.
Any suggestions for where I look?
