asked on 

2 isp's one router

Site A has two internet connections from two isp’s and one router. The router is   Cisco 1700 series connected to a PIX 515e. Site A has an MPLS connection from ISP 1 to Site B which also acts as it’s internet connection. The source of ISP1’s internet is at site B. Site A  has two ethernet interfaces. The Fast0 is connected to  the MPLS link from ISP 1 whiles ethernet0 is connected to ISP 2. ISP 2 connection is via VSAT on the serial interface. We would like to create a failover situation at site A so that if the MPLS link fails, the system should be able to switch to the VSAT
for internet at Site A.


The config below only works if the weight on the default route on the serial0 is manually increased to the same level as the default route on 10.20.20.9. and the gateway on the Domain controller acting as DHCP is changed to the internal IP of the firewall.
How can the router's config made to work automatically without any manual intervention

You  need to enable object tracking so that the router has an event that can trigger route changes since your primary gateway is Ethernet which is unlikely to go down if the upstream link is lost.

Routers
Routers

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
