Good afternoon. We are adding a secondary internet service to one of our locations and I just wanted to see if anyone had any advice on best practices for setting up the failover.
Situation: We have a remote site that connects via metro E back to our main location that hosts the servers and has the primary internet connection. We are wanting to add a secondary internet provider at the remote site in instances where the Metro E is down(It was just cut killing that site for almost two days)
We have an Adtran 1638 providing routing at the remote site that also sends the traffic back over the metro e to the main location.
Question: Is the 1638 capable of handling failover? We can set up a VPN to provide access to servers, but we want the 1638 to recognize the metro E is down and route traffic out towards the new provider.
Any advise or will this require a router with more capabilites?
