I just installed a firewall for a customer last night and it absolutely refuses to activate the default route for both ISPs in the virtual router. Only 1 will go active at a time. The intent is to just use route monitoring and use the primary ISP unless it goes down.
The primary ISP static default route is created with a route monitor.
The backup ISP is DHCP and the route is auto created with a metric of 20 and shouldn't be used unless the primary fails.
What I am seeing in the routing table is a single default route. The 2nd one never activates. Even if I enabled it for ECMP only one would go active at a time.
I have done several in this manner and have never encountered this before. Any thoughts?

Turns out this was expected behavior. I've been so used to using ECMP and expecting both routes to be alive.
