Thanks for the reply, can you please confirm me. after reading the documentation I have understood that the Shorewall is used as in routers. Also I understand that Shorewall does the switching between two ISPs and give the packets to the internal LAN. And the routers require two ethernet cards+1card for the local LAN. but for my situation I have only two cards in each system. Can you please tell whether my understanding is wrong. Please find the image below. I need to find the solution for redundant network handling, where if one ethernet card is removed the respective device should be able to communicate using the other interface. I have used bonding method but that is used only if all the systems are in the same network, so the bonding solution is ruled out. As the Shorewall is very big one to study and implement, if it doesn't work as a solution for my project , can you please suggest for some other solutions. If you want any understanding about the work, I will give even more clarification please I need this very badly. Please help me I have very to complete this stuff :(
