Simple Failover - Does it exist?

Hi Guys,

I am trying to perform a simple fail-over between an ADSL connection (dialer interface) and a 4G connection which is has an interface on the same VLAN. I can't use IP SLA because the router does not have the 'track' command (see my other post)

When I unplug the ADSL it does seem to failover to the 4G connection and internet connectivity is seamless which is great. Unfortunately when the ADSL comes back up it does not switch back over the route with the lowest metric, which is the ADSL (210.8.1.xxx). It just stays on the 4G connection.

 

router#sh run | i ip rout
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 210.8.1.xxx
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.216.1 10
ip route 210.8.1.xxx 255.255.255.255 Dialer1

 

router#sh ip int br
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Dot11Radio0 unassigned YES TFTP reset down
FastEthernet0 unassigned YES unset up up
FastEthernet1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
FastEthernet2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
FastEthernet3 unassigned YES unset up up

Dialer1 59.100.21.xxx YES IPCP up up

Virtual-Dot11Radio0 unassigned YES TFTP down down
Virtual-Access2 unassigned YES unset up u

 

Thanks is advance.

Hello,

 

you have three routes, two (default routes are required). So instead of:

 

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 210.8.1.xxx
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.216.1 10
ip route 210.8.1.xxx 255.255.255.255 Dialer1

 

Try:

 

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Cellular0 10

 

Also, which router and IOS version do you have ? Can you post the full config ?
