Assuming you can get the router at the other end of the point-to-point to participate in ospf, that would be better. As a matter of fact, even the PIX FW can participate in ospf.<br />
<br />
Your issue may be that even though your side works, the other side might not. You'll have to get all peices involved together with one plan.<br />

I have a Cisco 3550 EMI switch which is the default gateway of my all hosts in my LAN. I have a point-to-point link to a client site which terminates on a Cisco 2610 router and the router is connected to the 3550. I have a Cisco PIX firewall from where I have a VPN to the same client site. The trusted interface of the PIX terminates on the 3550 as well. <br />
<br />
Now I want that when the point-to-point link goes down ... all traffic should automatically be routed through the VPN. Please let me know the configuration that should be done in the switch to achieve this.<br />
<br />

Backup routing using Cisco 3550

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
