Tony-

 

            We are currently using our Sonicwall 3060 with Enhanced
Firmware to provide load balancing between two 5 MB circuits from two
different Internet providers.  All works pretty well.  My only complaint
is that once you do have a failover (for whatever reason) the Sonicwall
will turn it off and work just as you think it should, until the circuit
comes back up.  The only problem is that it will not start load
balancing again over the failed link.  It still relies heavily on the
link that stayed up, until you do a reboot of the firewall, and then
everything goes back to normal.  It is not a big deal, and since it took
care of the whole reason we installed it, I am fine with that.  We just
reboot the firewall at some point late in the day, and all returns to
normal.  Not much to see, but feel free to run over and check it out, or
ask any questions.

Subject: [info-tech] Handling Internet

 

Hello All,

 

As the internet becomes more critical to daily instructional needs such
as the use of online applications how is everyone handling their
internet failover. Is there anyone using two different vendors to
provide internet failover? What hardware/software are you using for
this?

 

Thanks,

Tony Richardson,
