Now set the default gateway to a failover group:
• Navigate to System > Routing, Gateways tab
• Set Default gateway IPv4 to PreferWAN
• Click Save
• Click Apply Changes
Note: This is important for failover from the firewall itself so it always has outbound access. While this also enables
basic failover for client traffic, it’s better to use policy routing rules to control client traffic behavior.
