Automatic way to stop traffic from WiFi interface if WAN1 fails?

Hello,

[ul]
  • WAN1 -> internet
  • WAN2 -> internet
  • Both have same AD and traffic flows over both to Internet
  • Have policy route such that Guest WiFi is using WAN2
  • Anyone know how to configure this such that Guest WiFi traffic is no longer going to internet if WAN1 goes down w/o manual intervention?
  • For example, my client doesn't want people to be able to use Guest WiFi if WAN1 fails b/c they don't want to share WAN2 bandwidth w/ Guest WiFi traffic. Is there a way to automatically stop Guest WiFi traffic, i.e. using link-monitor, SD-WAN, etc?
  • Using FGT 140D v5.6.x but could upgrade to v6.x if needed[/ul]

    Thanks!

    You should be able to use SD-WAN rules to accomplish this.  You can specify what interfaces are used for certain traffic.  I think this was added in 5.6.x, so you should have it without upgrading.
