If one fails all downstream nodes will failover to the gateway thats still alive, and the one gateway will change over to become a wireless repeater for the other. http://www.qorvus.net/qnode/index.html Tim Schaeffer Network Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "List Mail User" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 12:30 PM Subject: Re: [SOCALWUG] - failover question > >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Mar 18 11:44:25 2005 >>From: "Gary Patrick - Hotel Kiosks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>To: <[email protected]> >>References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Subject: [SOCALWUG] - failover question >>Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 11:16:12 -0800 >>... >> >>Anybody know of a good way to do failover? >> >>I have a hotel where we have two different high-speed carriers coming in.

There are a few other options too, but cost will decide. > > Paul Shupak > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
