Failover WAN Not Switching Back to Primary

[rfs3pa]

Hello,

I am trying to set up automatic failover wan using link-monitor and not SDWAN.  Before I even get as far setting up the link-monitor I am running into an issue.  My primary is wan2 and backup is wan1.  I have tried setting the static route for the backup to a higher priority and/or distance value.  When they are both connected it uses wan2 (what I want) then if I unplug wan2 it switches to wan1 (also good), but when plug wan2 back in it still uses wan1.  Shouldn't it switch right back to wan2?  I think I must be using the distance and or priority incorrectly.

wan1 and wan2 are in a zone and my internet access policy uses the zone.

Please refer below article and enable snat route change

Hi RFS

Do you mean that the opened sessions still use WAN1 even if WAN2 is up again, and only new sessions use WAN2?

[rfs3pa]

Yes, I have a browser open to whatismyipaddres.com showing me the wan IP of wan 2.  If I disconnect wan2 and refresh I get the IP of wan1.  When I reconnect wan2 and refresh again I am still seeing the wan1 IP. 

I am trying to get to where once wan2 is reconnected I see the wan2 IP.

As in the KB @sjoshi shared, check the config:
config system global
  set snat-route-change enable
end

I set snat-route-change to enable, it was set to disable.  I am still having the problem.  Should I be using priority or distance to weight to routes?

share the below output:-

get router info routing-table all

get router info kernel

run this output before and after removing the cable

[Toshi_Esumi]

Either way should work. Share us the first part of "get router info routing-table all" that includes the default routes, when 1) both are up and working on wan2, and 2) wan2 was removed, then 3) after wan2 is restored.

Here it is.  Weird thing is [both up, working on wan2] and [wan2 restored] look the same, but when [wan2 restored] and I go whatismyipaddress.com I still see the wan1 IP.

both up, working on wan2
