(Source: EdgeMAX - Dual WAN load-balance feature (v1.4.0))

minimal config:

ubnt@ER-Pro# show load-balance 
 group WLB {
     interface eth0 {
     }
     interface eth1 {
     }
 }

ubnt@ER-Pro# show firewall modify 
 modify WAN_WLB {
     rule 10 {
         action modify
         modify {
             lb-group WLB
         }
     }
 }

ubnt@ER-Pro# show interfaces ethernet eth2
 description LAN
 address 192.168.16.1/24
 firewall {
     in {
         modify WAN_WLB
     }
 }
For a more detailed look at dual WAN, but only use WAN2 for failover. Let's assume:
eth0 WAN1 primary
eth1 WAN2 backup
eth2 LAN internal
First create the load-balance group with eth1 as failover-only:
configure 
set load-balance group WAN_FAILOVER interface eth0
set load-balance group WAN_FAILOVER interface eth1 failover-only 
commit

ubnt@ubnt# show load-balance 
 group WAN_FAILOVER {
     interface eth0 {
     }
     interface eth1 {
         failover-only
     }
 }
[edit]
Then create the policy the the LAN interfaces will use:
set firewall modify WAN_POLICY rule 10 action modify 
set firewall modify WAN_POLICY rule 10 modify lb-group WAN_FAILOVER
commit

ubnt@ubnt# show firewall modify 
 modify WAN_POLICY {
     rule 10 {
         action modify
         modify {
             lb-group WAN_FAILOVER
         }
     }
 }
[edit]
Then apply to the LAN interface(s):
set interfaces ethernet eth2 description LAN
set interfaces ethernet eth2 firewall in modify WAN_POLICY
commit
save
exit

set interfaces ethernet eth1 pppoe 0 user-id joe
set interfaces ethernet eth1 pppoe 0 password secret2
connect interface pppoe0
disconnect interface pppoe0

PPPoE gets IP, but no route

It's possible that the default route is still active. The PPPoE route can be forced on connecting with the following setting:

set interfaces ethernet eth2 pppoe 0 default-route force
