Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's much eap_proxy
can do here. From the logs, the proxy is forwarding the auth packets from the ONT to the RG, but the RG isn't responding. I think what's going on here is that the RG, after not being able to get online for some period of time, goes into a state where it stops responding to the ONT. At some point the RG appears to reset itself at which point is responds as expected.
Perhaps resetting the interface the RG is on could get it to respond again. Another possibility is forwarding more traffic than just the auth packets between the ONT and RG to fool the RG into thinking it's online. I'm not sure really, and don't currently have any time to look into it.
FWIW, even without the proxy in place, when I've had my ONT go down and the come back due to line issues, I've had to reset my RG to get it back online.
So rebooting the RG would do the trick? Maybe I can just get a smart outlet and reboot the RG remotely.
To add to this, I have the same setup with a cellular backup on WAN2. (My only difference is my WAN1 is on the SFP port)
I noticed that on bootup, the IP the USGP4 pulled on the WAN1 network is actually from my LTE Modem, which is on WAN2. So far, unplugging the LTE modem from WAN2, then plugging it in after the WAN1 is up and active has been ok.
I'm also having issue with the eap_proxy script running on reboot, so there may be correlation.
I looked back and realized I left the --vlan-id 2
out of my eap_proxy.sh (was only using it in the terminal command to check initially) after updating that the script does load as expected on reboot.
It now works as expected with both WAN1 and WAN2 connected on reboot (proper IPs on each interface). I'll test mimicking a failover event when I get a chance and see if my experience is the same as @K-MTG
Thanks for all your work on this @jaysoffian !
Hi,
I am running eap_proxy on my USG 4P. The ONT is on eth2 & the gateway is on eth1. I also have a LTE Modem on WAN2 (eth 3).
If I unplug the ONT connection from the USG it failover to WAN2 but once I connect the ONT back onto the USG it doesn't fail back to WAN1/eth2.
UPDATE - So it finally reverted back to the ONT but it took ~30 minutes.
If I were to reboot the USG, it would just take a few seconds.
