Hey, hopefully a simple question:
At my office we have two gateways, a 4 line ADSL solution providing 4mbps down, and 1mbps up, this is our primary connection, but is prone to downtime, sometimes for a minute, sometimes for an hour. We then have a backup connection, which is slow, but is reliable.
What i want to do is switch internet traffic from one gateway to another if one of them goes down.
The network setup is:
Primary gateway 192.168.0.1
backup gateway 192.168.0.3
Windows Server 2k3 running DHCP and RRAS 192.168.0.2
I think the best way is to set all the workstations default gateway to 192.168.0.2, then have the windows server machine forward all internet bound traffic too either gateway depending if the primary is down or not.
Could any one point me in the right direction on how to do this, is it with RRAS? Any info much appreciated.
Elliot.
