Hello Ladies and Gents,
We have two (expensive) leased lines provding 2Meg each for a large office. I need to deal with links going down and also want to use 100% of both links, on the uplink direction. I want an Astaro supported solution so WebAdmin-based solutions only. I have read many articles on dual uplinks and Policy Based Routing for this and believe that this is not possible with Astaro. I hope this is wrong. Is it?
An example of this requirement is:
- have two external internet links, LINK1 and LINK2
- want HTTP traffic to default over LINK1
- want FTP traffic to default over LINK2
- If LINK1 is down then HTTP traffic goes over LINK2
- If LINK2 is down then FTP traffic goes over LINK1
My thoughts on this are
1) An external device (or 2 devices in HA config) to provide backup routing
2) Using multiple routes on ASL
It has to be a supported solution so only using NAT/PolicyBasedRouting/StaticRoutes in WebAdmin. Is this a "wait for future release" or doable with multiple PBR table entries? One Astaro suggestion is uplink failover which does not fly. The other is PBR, but no comment (yet) on whether it will work in the backup scenario. Will update this thread with any further Astaro feedback.
I am grateful for any replies, questions or comments received.
Thanks in advance for your time,
