Hello all,
Recently we installed a new Motorola controller (for a wireless network) and connected to the local network through a switch.So, what we have is the following:
2 ISP lines
Router A (linksys) main router --connected--> ISP 1
Router B (D-Link) secondary --connected--> ISP 2
Motorola router (rfs 4000) --connected--> Cisco Switch --connected--> Router A
DNS server --connected--> Cisco Switch --connected--> Router A
Router A is given IP (192.168.2.1)
Router B (192.168.0.1)
Motorola (192.168.2.99)
DNS (10.6.2.1)
As you can see nothing is connected to router B and thus ISP 2, the LAN computers are given static IPs of (10.6.2.x) with gateways of 192.168.2.1 (router A) , the plan is :
1- Connect motorola router to the router B.
2- Disable the DHCP from router A and B.
2- (The major issue) We need to make ISP 2 the failover line in case ISP 1 fails.
I was thinking of giving the router B the same IP of router A and to switch the cables between routers in case one of the ISPs go down, I dont think this is a professional solution so I'm looking for serious ones.
