so i work for a WISP using motorola canopy technology.
I have run into a question that im not too sure on. We have great uptime accross our network, but like most affordable broadband, we cannot garuntee 5 9's. I am looking into a router that can use our broadband connection but also have a spot for a dial up connect as a backup should our network have an outage.
A potential customer has 4 locations that want to use our broadband connection, and their IT consultant wants to have some form of a backup incase our network were to have a hickup. What he is looking into is any router with an rj45 (ethernet) wan port as well as an rj11 (standard phone jack i think is rj11) port to have our broadband be the main connection, but if it goes down that a dial up connection could automatically switch on to take its place, so at least they would have something.
The problem is not so much finding the equipement, i know of several multi wan port routers, but that the reason they want this is because they will be using a VPN connection between the other locations. They are looking for a smooth transition should our broadband cut out to the dial up back up. Im not sure this is possible as VPN will require a static ip, and should the connection using that ip go out, switch to the dial up which would have its own static ip. When that ip switch would happen, and also durring the dial up process that takes about 30 sec to a min, the VPN would time out..........
is there any VPN configs that could stop a break in the session that any of you are aware of, or some sort of user end DNS server that could make this possible.......
thanks in advance
