Description

LTE link failover is not triggered.

Solution

  • In some cases, the user would like to have LTE as the primary internet link, and the configuration might also look correct, but still the LTE might not take the 1st priority

config authority router ssr_multi_wan icmp-probe-profile icmp-probe sla-metrics latency mean 100. (Increase this value based on LTE ping latency)

 

  • This could be due to the SLA metrics latency mean configured in the ICMP-probe-profile.
  • Try to ping the internet IP with the LTE interface and check if the latency is high. If the latency exceeds that of the configuration, please modify the configuration accordingly.
