hello to all.
I hope someone will be able to help me setup Clearos 6.5 final release with 2 internet connection. the reason I would like to to this is to have a failover internet connection.
I have two PPPOE (Internet) connections from to different ISP's and one LAN connection.
Could someone explain to me the process of setting this up Internet failover in Clearos 6.5
The user guides available do not really tell you how to do this.
Many Thanks
Shaun.

Lots of discussion here in these forums both on failover and MutilWan. Examples :-

I have two ISPs - one cable the other ADSL - and tried failover, but went back to weighting with 100 on the one I wanted and a weight of 1 for the backup. It was more reliable and also provided an indication the backup was working. Nothing worse than one failing and not being aware the other failed sometime previously :-)
At the time I set this up I had to make a minor change to /usr/sbin/syswatch for it to work reliably with two "private" WAN addresses which I think might be explained in one of the above threads. The same type of edit applies to ClealOS 5.2, but I seem to remember the wording in the file was marginally different. -
