Hi there, I have a question about a configuration set up for a Cisco 1811. There are some changes happening in the network and I’m trying to better utilize some of my port resources now.
I have 2 wan ports (0 and 1)
and 8 lan ports (2-9)
I have the internet connection in port 2 (vlan 3, valid public ip, x.x.x.50)
I also have in port 3 (vlan 3) a connection that ends up going to another router (phone provider which gives us a backup redundant internet connection if the first one goes down. this provider also has a valid public ip in our range, call it x.x.x.51)
I have connectivity via pings between both ip’s.
I find that if I move the internet connection in port 2 to port 0 – it breaks the backup connection with the other provider and I can no longer ping between the two.
Is there any way I can configure port 2 so that the connection with port 0 doesn’t break the backup redundancy?
thanks in advance.
