Hi, we've got several customers who have 2 connections to our backbone. Mostly a connection with > 10 mbit/s and a smaller backup connection with up to 2 mbit/s. Currently the second router will be connected with the LAN in case the primary connection fails.
We would like to implement a solution where the second connection will be used automatically if the primary one fails. My first thought was to implement BGP on the customer side with a private ASN and install a peering with our router. But the hardware doesn't support BGP. We've got two scenarios: 1. The customer is connected with a 10 MBit/s LAN Extension and a 2 Mbit/s D2MS. The 2 Mbit/s is connected with a Cisco 2600 Series router on the customer side. But the LAN Extension is directly connected to a switch. Our Backbone Router is the default router for the customer network. Because of the costs we don't want to install another router on the customer side. So BGP isn't working. 2. The customer is connected with a E3 or more and a 2 MBit/s SDSL. For the E3 we've got a Cisco 2800 Series Router. But the SDSL Connection is handled by a cisco 878 wich doesn't support BGP. Any ideas?
