Failover Scenario with EasyVPN

Amin Shaikh · ‎10-04-2009

Si,

Looking for advice and config help on scenario where Branch_Office is connected to Head_Office using service provider MPLS cloud.

we are looking for failover solution so that branch_office still reaches Head_office even if the MPLS link fails.

On Branch Office we have DSL connection, we thought of having EasyVPN with HQ if MPLS connection fails.

Plz comment and help in EasyVPN config to failover when MPLS goes down

Hi,

Any Help

Instead of doing ezvpn, set up a GRE/IPSec tunnel that is always up and make sure routing prefers the MPLS over the GRE/IPSec. When MPLS fails, it will fail over to the GRE/IPSec tunnel automatically.

PS. please rate the post.

Can you elaborate on an example of this type of configuraiton? We are in the process of doing the same thing to back up our MPLS links with DSL. Are theere any whitepapers, configuratiuon examples, etc. for this situation that could make this setup easy? THanks.
