"WAN failover and failback behavior" on the template is not available.

Unfortunately it looks like configuring "WAN failover and failback behavior" on the template is not available for networks in templates. It is not sure when WAN-1 link fails, if it is graceful or immediate failover as failover taking a while for network in a template.

Kind of a big deal

As per the following doc, templates don't support enhanced failover and thus go by the following failover rules:

 

Current implementation (without “Enhanced WAN failover and failback feature”)

  • During failover (when primary link is lost) 

    • Existing flows will remain on the primary path until they expire.

    • New flows will route via the backup path

  • During failback (when primary link is recovered) 

    • Existing flows will remain on the backup path until they expire.

    • New flows will route via the primary path

My network has 3 templates and over 180 school branches. The default settings do no meet my requirement as when WAN-1 link goes down, there should be an immediate failover shifting the services to WAN-2. Sadly current setting are not of any use to our current network.
