Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if something is possible with a pair of ASG v8's I have.
In one of our remote offices I have an Astaro that handles routing for the office. Normally all Internet bound traffic passes through our DSL connection while all traffic bound for HQ passes through a dedicated WAN connection. What I wanted to do was setup an uplink monitor so that in the event the DSL goes down, all traffic gets routed through the WAN to the other side, where another Astaro handles the rerouted traffic.
The obvious answer seems to be using OSPF routing but I have 'zero' experience with it and from the reading I've done of it, overkill is the best descriptor for my network.
The other obvious solution is just to manually setup the spare routing entries and whenever we need them just manually flip them on. I already have this in place but was hoping for an automatic setting somewhere.
The last solution I came up with is to setup a VPN tunnel (across the WAN) between ASG's and setup an action to enable the tunnel. It doesn't feel clean somehow tho.
So has anybody ever tried setting something like this up before?
