The BasicLoadBalance set-up does work, but it sounds like Bill wants
fail-over to a secondary next hop if the primary fails. This is
accomplished with the qualified-next-hop attribute.
Set up a default route to your preferred provider (cable)
Set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 1.1.1.1
Set up a backup default route to your secondary provider
Set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 qualified-next-hop
2.2.2.2 metric 2

Bill,
It is doable, but it is not necessarily pretty. I was able to use the
BasicLoadBalance how to from the community wiki to get dual links up and
working. I haven't tried the FailoverScript, but I am sure that it works
as well

Greetings,
I would like to use Vyatta to setup a failover link at my home.
I have two internet links DSL and Cable.
I have looked through the docs and I don't see commands to setup a
failover scenario.
Any ideas if Vyatta can do failover?
I want it to run on the cable internet and failover to DSL.
Thanks for any info
-Bill
