Shawn,
You still will not have true redundancy if you are
using a single 3640. If that router fails you will lose all 3 T1s.
Not sure what you are going to gain by moving this T1. I think we will
need a simple diagram to understand. You mentioned BGP? I thought
these T1's were to a remote site. Are these Internet T1's? You said
route-maps are flaky. Define flaky. I've never had a problem using
route maps. Need a lot more info on this one.

Looking for other opinions...
I currently have a 3640 installed at remote site
with 2 Modules installed. There are two DSU/CSU installed in each
mod., with a FE port on each. I have 3 T1's coming in. 2 Ts going
into the 3640 box and the third going into a 1750. The third T is a dedicated
T for a separate network. There are 2 different networks being severed
and one redundant T for one network. The second network doesn't have any
redundancy -(that's my question).
Here is my question:
I would like to put all three Ts into the 3640
for redundancy. If any T fails, information will still transmit over the
remaining Ts, doesn't matter what network it belongs to. The third
T is dedicated for that particular network. I don't want ANY traffic to
flow over to that T unless both primary and secondary fail. But if the
third T fails, then I want traffic to flow over to the second T then to the
first.
I tried BGP with route-maps (next hop) but it was
working a little flaky. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. I will keep you posted on my finding
also.
