Re: [WISPA] Dual WAN Router

2008-05-16 Thread Matt Hardy
Yes you can setup this feature in the Routes section for failover, you
can create two routes with different Distances and have the lower
distance route use the Check Gateway ping feature. 
If it quits pinging it will switch to the route with the higher distance
setting.

As far as load balancing, you'll have to setup mangle rules to handle
this. There are examples in the wiki for this as well.

Yes, you can setup the "dead gateway" feature.
Check out the MT site for how-to documents and a list of consultants 
that can help.

Yup. When creating routes, there are a few options under 
"check-gateway," including "ping" (if the gateway for a given route 
isn't pingable it isn't used).

That's gonna be a problem, but you'd have that problem with any dual-WAN 
router. Unless their allocation is large enough that you could set up 
BGP, and get the second ISP to announce the first ISP's address space, 
but good luck with that. That usually implies a /24 (minimum), and a 
customer that large will probably have other exciting requirements anyway.

If they're running servers at their location that are accessed by the 
outside world, unless you use something like Dynamic DNS, they'll have 
the same problem with dual-WAN and failover. This is a great opportunity 
to sell them hosting or colocation :P

No one specifically answered, but does MT use a "dead gateway" feature
like the other dual WAN routers or is everyone talking about using
dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP)?

Standard "get a Mikrotik" spiel goes here. One of my subscribers has 
essentially this very same setup, and while it was a bit tricky to get 
the failover to work initially, it's worked perfectly ever since. If 
they're a small office, one of the ~$200 boards will work just fine.

Have to use BGP for that,  assuming that a DSL Provider allows that, and
most don't.  This was just load balancing and failover.

Quite a few examples and ideas of how to do this.  Maybe this would be a 
good place to start.  If these look like more than you want to bite off, 
hire an expert, or buy a pre-configured unit like a Linksys.

really causes issues due to connection switching in the middle of a session.
Fail over works OK generally but never seen one that you can separate
in-bound and out-bound to different wans.  Suppose if you set WAN1 as the
Primary and wan2 as failover and setup VPN to access the IP on WAN2 it
should work as long as the firmware rev likes that config.  Interesting
idea.  Sounds like it should function as long as the DSL is stable and
doesn't cause lots of failovers.  Again I would not Load Balance them.

Subject: [WISPA] Dual WAN Router

Anyone have any recommendations on a dual wan router? We plan to setup
a customer on DSL and wireless and use the wireless for terminating
VPN traffic and DSL for internet traffic and then failover for
redundancy.

I've been investigating this Netgear unit.

It seems to be fairly affordable but would like to know what everyone
else has found to work well.

Thanks,
Eric
