Howdy All,
At one of my too many jobs, we have a Cisco ASA 5505 that has a cable and dsl connection connecting to. I have cable setup as the preferred route unless it fails and then DSL takes over. That works great when cable actually does fail to ping it's own gateway. However, it doesn't address when the cable ISP slows to a crawl as more folks bang away on it in the early evening hours. Is there some type of policy that I could use on the ASA to tell it to "flip the switch" when it notices bandwidth below a certain threshold. I wonder if I put a router in front of the ASA that I could then set the necessary policy to choose which ISP to send traffic out to.
Or is there some piece of equipment that'll do that for me without me having to create a policy in the IOS?
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Have a great day!
