Two ISPs over single point-to-point link

Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:55 am

In the scenario below, the configuration currently exists with a single ISP and a private Wi-Fi network. Pretty simple set-up. However, the client wants to introduce a second ISP for the public Wi-Fi so effectively both internet connections will end up going across the single P2P UBNT link. First question is whether this is possible? Secondly, I'm guessing it all revolves around multiple VLAN and bridges? My knowledge of VLANs is sketchy at best - I don't spend enough time configuring them as my scope in small businesses where they rarely crop up.

Use 2 different gateway is one way (disable DHCP)
Or user VLAN if you need too separated them for security reason.

Set up each internet service as a separate VLAN. The UBNT MW link will carry VLANs just fine. Also if you are not aware of it, you can set the UBNT MW to only respond to a certain VLAN for management of it. My UBNT link here only monitors my VLAN 203 - but is passing 15 VLANs.
BTW, thanks for the drawing. It made it very easy to see what you were trying to do.
