I have two 2911 routers running 15.3.1 IOS. One is at our main location (CORP) and the other is at our new building (REMOTE). We just got our ME (Metro Ethernet) connection turned up through our provider (CentruyLink) at REMOTE but they are delayed in getting our Internet link going. I have people who need to start at REMOTE in a little over a week.
My thought is, I backhaul the Internet traffic over the 20Mbps ME (it was originally created as a failover connection) and then route them through the 2911 link here at the main location (CORP) which then has a 50Mbps uplink to the Internet.
I have never configured a ME before and was hoping to have more time to test and debug. Am hoping somone might provide some clarification?
Each router has three (3) GE links.The REMOTE location wil be the main site and CORP will be the backup.
Just need to get the two networks talking.

My biggest concern is getting the eigrp statement correct and having the two networks (10.10.0.0 /20 and 10.5.0.0 /22) talking.
My next concern is at the REMOTE location, temporarily routing all traffic over the ME connection or 172.16.100.0 /24.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Let me know if I am missing anything and I wil post it here.
