redundant ISP configuration

Hi, I have configured a VPN client via ISP one on a Cisco ASA, however the client wants me to configure a backup ISP on the same ASA. I am not clear on how to go about this for example each ISP has its own set of client LAN IPs as well as different WAN ips.

Hi

Can you describe your setup in a bit more details? Is this remote access or L2L IPSec or SSL VPN? Are you directly peering with the ISPs off the ASA or are there separate WAN edge routers/firewalls?

Thanks

The scenario is this I use VPN clients from two different ISPs to connect to some servers in another organization.

ISP 1 has a router in my premises with its block of IPs to be used by my VPN clients

ISP 2 also has a router In. My premises with a diff block of ips to be used by the same VPN clients if the first ISP fails. I expect to manually change the IPs on the client machine to the block of IPs belonging to ISP 2.
My confusion is this I already have configured inside and outside interfaces on the ASAfor the ISP 1. My thinking is I have to also configure inside and outside interfaces for ISP two since the inside addresses for both ISPs are different. Then I can apply IP sla tracking?


I hope you understand the question better now

Your encryption domain (client PCs on your LAN connecting to the remote servers) should not have to change regardless of which ISP you use. Can't see any technical benefits of re-addressing your internal network when you change ISPs...unless there is a "political" or regulatory reason for doing that. And if there is any insistence from any quarters, that is exactly what NATs are for.

Best off going with the IP SLA monitoring option below with address translation as required...

Hello Mojoyinola,

You could go with IP-SLA monitoring for this
