RE: Backup over DSL

That won't actually work because r2 will never know that the DSL connection
has gone down since it doesn't terminate it.

I've actually figured out a solution. It was way too easy to not think of
right away. Currently r1 and r2 are receiving OSPF E1 default routers over
their WAN connection. The metric for all routes is lower through r1, like I
want. I decided to set the AD of the default to 120 via the r1 and place a
static on r2 pointing to the ISP and have r1 be the active HSRP router.
Then under normal operation all traffic will go to r1. If it is I-net it
will send to r2, if not P2P link.

Thanks,
Zac

hmmmm how about a floating default route on r2 to r1 so if r2 can't reach
it's default go to r1.

some kind of conditional routing.

Subject: Backup over DSL

This is my scenerio. I have 2 routers in a remote site. Router1 has a P2P
T-1 to a datacenter and router2 is connected to a non Cisco low end DSL
router. Under normal operations all office/internal traffic is routed
through the T-1. Router2 has an OSPF neighbor tunneled over the Internet
via the DSL link in the case the T-1 goes down. All Internet traffic is
statically routed directly to the Internet via the DSL link. They are
running HSRP.

Here's my problem. In the event that the DSL link goes down I want to
direct Internet traffic over the T-1 and from the data center it will be
sent to the Internet. The problem is that if the DSL line goes down router2
will not know about it because the DSL line is not terminated on router2,
thus HSRP tracking won't work.

This seems like an easy problem, but I can't think of a way to get it done.
I've looked into PBR, but can't find a solution there either. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
