Hi @ABUELKHAIR,
This is possible with DHCP.
Create a static route for each ISP interface, set them both to the same distance, and the "standby" link to have an extra priority (such as 5)
Set defaultgw disable on the interface with DHCP
config system interface
edit "port1"
set vdom "root"
set mode dhcp
set allowaccess ping
set type physical
set defaultgw disable <------
next
Create static default routes that are tied to DHCP:
config router static
edit 0
set distance 5
set device "port1"
set dynamic-gateway enable
next
edit 0
set distance 5
set priority 10
set device "port2"
set dynamic-gateway enable
next
Actually i did that by changing the interface distance on WAN1 the primary to 5
And changed the interface distance on the secondary WAN to 10
And i added link monitor
FG61E (wan1) # get
name : wan1
addr-mode : ipv4
srcintf : wan1
server : "8.8.8.8"
protocol : ping
gateway-ip : 0.0.0.0
source-ip : 0.0.0.0
interval : 500
probe-timeout : 500
failtime : 5
recoverytime : 5
probe-count : 30
ha-priority : 1
update-cascade-interface: enable
update-static-route : enable
status : enable
After that all good now and Active\standby is working fine with no issues

Hi,
you can do it also with the sdwan feature. And add wan SLA to check the link availability.
Best regards,
