You have two separately advertised blocks from each provider. That takes of your inbound/outbound traffic. Since all the device is doing is checking for connectivity to an external host and switching to different link, you can use any vendor of your choice with support for failover. BGP is excellent for big corporate networks and service providers but an office that just needs an redundant link I think is too much hassle. My 30cts
I fully agree with you on this one. For an SME that need redundancy this is one solution that they can consider.
From the information given they have a /24 Provider Independent (PI) address space, Private ASN and two ISPs. That appears to be an entity looking for more scalability and control.
I suppose we shall await to hear from Anthony with more clarity or if he has managed to resolve the issue and how he went about it. Regards, Michuki.
