Gateway Group GUI is confusing with mixed IPv4/IPv6 Gateways #6119

Closed Keno closed 1 year ago

Describe the bug

My OPNSense firewall has three gateways:

WANCABLE_DHCP6 is IPv4, the other interfaces are IPv6. There will in the future also be a WANFIBER_GWv6, but I don't have it yet.

I was hoping to configure failover, so I added all three gateways into a gateway group. I then attempted to assigned link priorities by going down the line and setting them all to "Tier 1". Doing this to the second reset the first to "Never" and doing this to the second reset the second to "Never".

In retrospect, I'm assuming what happens here is that IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces cannot be simultaneously given link priority in the same gateway group (which makes sense), but I was quite confused by the GUI.

Expected behavior

My suggestion would be to either split out the IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces in the UI to make it very clear that one cal only select one or the other or to have a separate "Create IPv4 gateway group" and "Create IPv6 gateway group" options that only show the relevant interfaces.

Screenshots

This is the dialog I'm talking about inside the "Create Gateway Group" GUI:
