Customer request

kiokoman

Hi,
i have a new customer with 2 slow adsl (20 / 1) from the same provider one is a /29 and one have a single static ip
the customer would like to divide the outgoing traffic between the two ADSL, also he want fail over if possible. it's a small office. this is the basic information i got from him as i still have to check what does it realy have inside his office. anyway
would it be possible to do it with an sg1100 ? (outgoing balance + failover ?)

Sure why not...

Load Balancing

When two gateways are on the same tier, they will load balance. This means that on a per-connection basis, connections are routed over each WAN in a round-robin manner. If any gateway on the same tier goes down, it is removed from use and the other gateways on the tier continue to operate normally.

thank you, I wanted a confirmation before completing a quote

Yeah, that works fine. The only issue you may have is that because they are from the same provider they may use the same gateway IP which can policy routing a problem.

I would find out from their DSL provider if they can get bonded service or MLPPP.

sadly only on our dreams an italian isp would do that
