Hi,<br />
<br />
Here's the situation - we have our main office and then a remote office. &nbsp;Cisco ASA at both ends. &nbsp;There is also a VPN tunnel between the two facilities.<br />
We frequently have internet connection issues at the remote office, meaning we lose connection entirely to them.<br />

What would be involved in getting a device that could failover to a second connection, perhaps a DSL connection, automatically. <br />
<br />
What makes it complicated (i would think) is the fact there's a VPN tunnel between the facilities.<br />
<br />
What would my options be?

Hi,

Here's the situation - we have our main office and then a remote office.  Cisco ASA at both ends.  There is also a VPN tunnel between the two facilities.
We frequently have internet connection issues at the remote office, meaning we lose connection entirely to them.

What would be involved in getting a device that could failover to a second connection, perhaps a DSL connection, automatically. 

What makes it complicated (i would think) is the fact there's a VPN tunnel between the facilities.

Failover internet connection - but with a VPN?

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

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.

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
