failover for second line
Posted on 2016-08-17
What type of devices exist for a line failure. If we have a fiber line and then want to ensure backup with a cable line, what is the intermediary device that we would have that would cut over to the backup in the event of a primary line failure? Any direction or experience appreciated.

Dual WAN routers if I understand your question. There are plenty to choose from.
Personally, I like Untangle. The Dual WAN part is not free, but it offers many services for free and optional paid enhancements.

How large is your business in term of users / traffic?
At the entry level, Draytek and Zyxel provide routers that support dual-WAN.
At the SMB / Enterprise level, most hardware Firewalls will support dual-WAN, not only in terms of switch-over, but also in terms of policy-based routing (send all VoIP data out on WAN A, receive HTTP traffic on WAN B).
The benefit of going for something like Untangle or (my personal preference), a Firewall like a WatchGuard, is the unified threat management subscription services which help protect your business and your users.
