link-monitor settings accepted but not applying

[Norris81]

Hi All,

I've just configured link-monitor to allow failover to WAN2 when internet access through WAN1 is unavailable.

I've applied this config without any errors, but it doesn't appear to display all the settings.

config system link-monitor
(link-monitor) # edit "WAN_Failover"
(link-monitor) # set srcintf wan1
(link-monitor) # set server "8.8.8.8" "4.2.2.1"
(link-monitor) # set protocol ping
(link-monitor) # set gateway-ip xxx.xxx.xx9.17
(link-monitor) # set interval 500
(link-monitor) # set failtime 5
(link-monitor) # set recoverytime 5
(link-monitor) # set update-static-route enable
(link-monitor) # set status enable

The resulting config is displayed below.

FW1 # show system link-monitor
config system link-monitor
    edit "WAN1_Failover"
        set srcintf "wan1"
        set server "8.8.8.8" "4.2.2.1"
        set gateway-ip xxx.xxx.xx9.17
    next
end

As you can see, the following parameters are missing.

(link-monitor) # set protocol ping
(link-monitor) # set interval 500
(link-monitor) # set failtime 5
(link-monitor) # set recoverytime 5
(link-monitor) # set update-static-route enable
(link-monitor) # set status enable

The firewall is currently on v7.2.8.

On testing, WAN failover works as expected, but I have noticed this System Event: 

Static route on interface wan1 may be added by link-monitor WAN1_Failover. Route: (xxx.xxx.xx9.22->8.8.8.8 ping-up) (xxx.xxx.xx9.22->4.2.2.1 ping-down)

It reports that it can ping 8.8.8.8 but not 4.2.2.1.

I can ping 4.2.2.1 from xxx.xxx.xx9.22.

Thoughts anyone?

Because those are the default values. If you show "show full" or "get" you would be able to see those.

@Toshi_Esumi spot on, thank you.
