Re: [fw-wiz] router with 2 redundant inferfaces

shadow floating a écrit :
Hi guys,
my company is having 2 leased lines internet connections and they were
about to buy two routers to make them standby to each other, each with
one of the internet connections, as they were discussing with some
network consultant...he convinced them to reduce cost and put 2 wics
in one router only each connected to the each internet connection
instead of buying 2 routers....is that appropriate??

that means if the router is faulty, there is no access anymore.
if you have a spare available, that can work, but it depends how much
will cost for your company
an interruption of internet access (no mail, no corp web if hosted
locally, etc) for the time you put the spare in place.

IMHO the type of architecture and redundancy for internet access depends
on the cost of the interruption
and the delay that is allowed per year (1 hour, 1 day)

hope this'll help
thanks alot

Nad
