Good afternoon,
I have a case where the ISP has the following scenario.
An optic fibre link with a speed of 150Mbps and a backup sat link in case the 1st one fails .
Both outputs belong to a /28 subnet with an ip range of xx.xx.xx.244 - xx.xx.xx.254
The gateway is xx.xx.xx.241 and if i am not mistaken the optic fibre Cisco has an ip of xx.xx.xx.242 and the backup link xx.xx.xx.243.
So the scenario is that if the optic fibre fails for some reason after a short while the backup link will kick in and give me the same address, subnet and gateway for my internet access.
So for example i have chosen to use xx.xx.xx.244 with subnet 255.255.255.240 and gateway xx.xx.xx.241.
If the Optic fibre fails the above address will continue to work from the backup link.
The Internet access goes to a CCR1009 for hotspot users.
The question is how can i have both outputs connected to a switch so that when the one fails and the other kicks in it will continue giving seamless internet output to its clients without me
having to intervene to change the outputs.
The ISP said to run both wires to a switch and then create a VLAN output but i haven't done this before so i would appreciate some help.
Thank you.
