2 Routers + 2 Sites + 2 ISP + Internet Failover without any Routing protocols

Kuldeep singh

Level 1

Hi Experts,

I want to configure simple Redundancy/Failover between these two sites only for internet access and each site have 1 mbps internet link of different ISP.

The distance between site A to site B is approximately 1 kms. Currently Both sites running Seperatly, there is no point to point connectivity but i drawn

in my attached network Diagram bcoz i will buy 2 mbps point to point LL with one Fastethernet HWIC card for each Router.

Plz see whole Network configuration below, i m not sure about that it is correct or not so make changes according to yourself.

Overall i need only two things with solution.

1.  In my current setup, suppose isp1 goes down, that time Site A user can not access internet. suppose isp2 goes down,

     that time Site B user can not  access internet.

     our requirement is, if isp1 goes to down, all internet traffic should go through isp2, if isp2 goes to down, all internet traffic should go through isp1.

     then isp1 get back to normal, the internet traffic should back to isp1. is there any need to configure "Administrative Distance" ?

2. Site-A's LAN should be communicate with Site-B's LAN   and   Site-B's LAN should be communicate with Site-A's LAN

Things to be remember :

-- Once see my attached network Diagram

-- I am using only default Routing at Both Sites

-- No any Routing protocol here and also do not want to configure any Routing protocols

-- Plz do not use words like Load Balancing/ Load Sharing, only simple setup with static route and AD if requird

Hello Kuldeep,

the specific static routes are needed to ensure inter site communications also in normal conditions when both sites have their own primary default route installed.

By the way, when a failure occurs it is the site with still a working internet connection that needs to know how to route packets with a destination address belonging to the other site. Otherwise the return path for the site without a working internet connection would fail for lack of  inter site routing information. You need to provide and to think of the return path also not only of going to the internet.

The network would not work without these specific static routes

Hope to help
