Hi Folks,
I have a financial customer that has is adverse to using a dynamic routing protocol to fail over from a production site to their backup(DR). They want to use EEM and IPsla to fail over after business hours.
Any suggestions, ideas or thoughts on this?
Thanks,

So do they want a timed failover to happen regularly ie. at 22:00 hours switch over to DR ?
If not i can't see the point of not using a dynamic routing protocol to be honest. IP SLA is no more efficient than using a dynamic routing protocol and is only really useful when there isn't a dynamic routing protocol. Even with IP SLA there is no element of being able to time the switch over.
If the do want a timed failover then yes EEM together with IP SLA (or perhaps even on it's own) might be a solution. If this is what they want then i suggest you move this post to the "Network Management" forum where they deal with EEM questions.

Hi,
Can you please elaborate a little more? I do understand the customer wants to have a failover and that he wants to use EEM or IPSLA, both options are pretty good, my questions, does he want a secondary link to come up if the first one fails, or what exactly is he looking for?
Let me know.
Cheers,
Yanil
