Setup 2 wan interface but when using Flow References no internet traffic coming out on wan2

[GelC]

Hi

I have a concern regarding mx100. we have 2 wan interface. my primary link is wan1. Both wan1 and wan2 are working and tested then each link have different isp provider.

Now here's my concern, I was told that if i want to send a certian ip or subnet to have internet traffic go out to wan2 i just need to set it up on the Flow References -> Internet Traffic. So I did, but unfortunately the internet traffic still goes out to wan1 even if when I check public ip and speedtest.net its showing the wan2 details. The Internet traffic only go out to wan2 when i change the primary link to wan2.

The preferred uplink only takes affect for new flows. When you change it you need to make sure the MX has gotten the new config first, and then quit the browser and open it again it make sure it is a new flow. Even then it might still use a cached flow for the next 10 minutes or so.

Hi ,

Can I ask?

Set up 2 WAN interfaces, my primary is WAN1, and my secondary is WAN2. I am using Flow References in the other VLAN to use WAN2 for the outgoing internet connection
but the incoming internet connection during trace root goes to WAN1..my question is how to set the incoming connection still passed in WAN2.
