We have a Central Switch and remote Switches which recently we purchased a backup ISP link and I would like to know how to configure a point to point port.
1) Main IT Center - XYZ ISP = Cisco Router / Master Firewall / Main Network Routing Switch (Curretly supplies Internet/Lan access)
2) Main IT Center - New ISP Backup = ISP Black Box / Main Network Routing Switch / No Firewall Connection (Lights Up - need port configured ?)
3) Remote Educational Building = - XYZ ISP works via the Main IT Switch
4) Remote Educational Building = New ISP Backup = Connected to IN-House Switch / Lights up, but no access to Internet etc. / need port configured ?
I hope this assists in getting an idea of what we have and what we are trying to accomplish. If we can get the New ISP working, then I will shut down the XYZ connection and run live to the remote Educational Building which will assisth that location with faster speed.
Thank you.
Masoud - Tunnel may be the correct terminology. I was told Point to Point by the ISP, so I just referenced that.
Topology - I will draw up something and attach it later.
Thank you.
