Hi,
We have a RB3011 installed on client-side. They are connecting to an RDP-server on external WAN IP ..***.218.
Is it possible to create a rule in the RB3011 when IP ...218 is not available(not pingable) it automatically reroute the traffic to ...63?
On the PC it still looks like it is connecting to ..***.218.
Best regards,
Joost Lauwen
There is probably some convoluted script that can be written to do this, but sounds like it would be simpler for your client to just put in the right WANIP into the RDP application LOL.
Why not setup the WANIP as a dydndns type address with a provider and have their service switch to the new WANIP if the primary is down and that way you simply program in the domain name of the dyndns that is setup, as a route rule for RDP traffic for example, and thus transparent to the end user.
You can add dstnat rule redirecting connections for .218 to .63, then setup netwatch for .218 and dynamically enable or disable dstnat rule.
Hi Sob,
That’s exactly what I need. I want to manual change the destination if there is a network outage an .218.
Dyndns is also a good option, but when the WANIP changes it can take a while before the clients connect to the changed WANIP.
Thanks for your answer.
