Is there a router that will do the following....

[EpoUser08]

We currently have and ADSL and SDSL circuit each have Draytek 2800 series routers that connect to a Draytek load balancer that aggregates our bandwidth.

We are in a remote location and the ADSL and SDSL often fail at seperate times.

Because of our "resiliant" setup, we often have no idea that one of the circuits is down and it can be down for days.

Is there a Cisco router or load balancer that will send an email alert when one of the ciruits drops its connection to the internet?

Hello
Are you sure that the Draytek 2800 don't support Syslog and SNMP?

That Load Balancer should definitely support some sort of monitoring protocol, at LEAST SNMP, with email alerts...I second Minue's suggestion...

at one point I had a similar issue and setup an IP SLA to monitor pings to 4.2.2.2. if the ping dropped more than three times consecutively it would trigger an snmp trap that was picked up by my monitoring system (Zenoss), and in turn sent an e-mail notification. I did this on a Cisco 1811 router. i'd weigh in on the Draytek 2800, but I'm not familiar with it.

agreed its more about a monitoring script than different hardware.

you need to check the trace route or alike.

ping a dns server that is only reachable via that isp.

snmp poll the interfaces that are in question.

have a desktop(monitoring station) refresh a website every ten mins "whats my ip" or alike.
