Enabled link redundancy and no load-sharing question

Dear All, 

 

        Would like to ask if i have dual internet circuits and want to enabled link redundancy and no load-sharing, and i have followed below guide and seem work as expected, but i have one question, if wan1 down, and its will failover to wan2, and if wan1 resumed, will it be able to failover back to wan1 itself ? would it be possible to achieve that ?

Yes, when the wan1 link comes up the associated route with lower distance also comes up. When the preferred route (lower distance) is active , system will use that route to send traffic via wan1.
