Need Dual WAN But Not Necessarily the Firewall

Kopoly · ‎02-09-2012

Hi folks,

I have a small office with about 20 people. I currently have a T1 line which feeds a Cisco ASA 5505. I would like to replace the T1 line with two (2) ADSL lines. I need a dual WAN switch/load balancer. I researched a bit and found that Cisco RV042 will probably work for me even though I don't need another VPN and would have to disable it.

My question: Is there anothe device from Cisco or others which will give me the dual WAN and load balancing but not the VPN piece. My assumption is that it would be a less expensive device if such an animal exists.

Thank you in advance for any advice you could impart.

N.G.

Hi,

any router with 2 outside interfaces will be able to load balance.

Regards.

Thanks for your response.

Could anyone recommend a good unit? I poked around a bit; ostensibly, some of thes units do less load balancing and more fail-over. It is critical for me to be able to take full advantage of both lines concurrently and fully.

Thanks!
