SRX5308 - WAN2 not working

I have confirmed with the Data Centre that there is a green light on at both ends of the WAN Broadband connection, on WAN Port 2 on the SRX5308 AND at their Network Supply Port.

WAN 1 is working perfectly
WAN 2 is not showing anything

I have input all the correct settings on WAN 2 in the TAB/Page 'WAN 2 IPv4 ISP Settings'

But it never displays it's settings on the TAB/Page 'WAN Setup'

Is there something additional I have to do to get WAN 2 to activate?

Thank you,

  • Thank you ADIT

    I set up the Auto-rollover option as per attached screenshot.
    Would that not work as well ?

    My goal is to test that WAN2 works, before switching broadband cables in WAN1, eventually only needing to use WAN1 again.

  • WAN2 will not go Active unless WAN1 fails in that mode. The only way to have both up/Active is Load Balancing. What do you mean by switching cables?
  • Got it working thank you with load balancing. We have not reverted to the new 100Mb line in WAN1 and all is good. Cheers :-)
