What about configuring "dialer watch". Here you preconfigure a route that needs to be monitored. when the route disappears, the backup route takes over
-----Original Message----- From: Lupi, Guy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 June 2002 16:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Automatic Backup Question [7:47652] I was wondering if anyone knows of a device that can do this. I have a situation where I need to provide automatic failover in the event that connectivity to the Internet is lost from an Ethernet port. The Ethernet port will not go down, it will be up, just IP connectivity will be lost. For various reasons I cannot run a routing protocol over the Ethernet port at all. Does anyone know if there is a unit that can ping a configurable IP address and dial an ISDN line in the event that the ping times out a certain number of times? It must have 2 routed Ethernet ports, one to connect to the provider and one to connect to the users LAN, and an ISDN BRI U interface. I appreciate any suggestions. Guy H.
