Configure Backup Redundant link on Cisco 2951 with IOS 15.0

[baqarbeezee]

Hi all,

First of most I wanna discuss our scenario

We have 6 sites which are connected through E1 links.

All sites connected from HQs.

Site A is HQs.

Sited B, C, D, E, and F are Branches.

Site A is directly connected with site B, C, D and E.

Site D is connected with Site F.

Now we have another redundant E1 link for site C and Site F.

we are using Static Routes.

i have configured Qualified-next-hope on Juniper Router but i am unable to configure IP SLA on Site C Cisco 2951 with IOS 15.0 router.

is there another solution for my scenario plz share with me for Redundant Link.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Baqar

Hi,

if these are point-to-point interfaces then no need for IP sla because the line protocol of the interface will be down if the other end of the link is down.

So just using a floating static route without tracking the primary would suffice, you can also use the backup interface command on the Cisco device:
