Excuse my ignorance but I am new to networking and kind of got thrown into it at my job. I believe I know the answer but for some reason my brain is not putting all the pieces together.
Setup:
1 Cisco Router - New Fiber connection
1 Cable Modem - Existing Cable connection
1 CradlePoint Router
2 ASA Firewalls 5506
1 Core Switch - Connects to 1 EndPoint switch (PC/Phone/etc.)
Connections:
Cisco Router to Firewall to Core Switch to EndPoint Switch
Cable Modem to CradlePoint Router to Firewall to Core Switch to EndPoint switch
We have 2 ISPs that I need to connect to a single 2540 24 port switch. I am in the process of configuring/testing out Fiber with a Firewall but the switch already has a cable ISP connection configured to it.
How can I add the 2nd network so I can test my applications and services on the network?
Once it is completed I will be using both of them as a Primary/Secondary internet connection which once again, I will need some guidance on.
If anyone could show me the direction, I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thank you in advance.
My thoughts:
I will connect the Cable to the Cisco Router so it has both internet connections for failover.
Connect to a firewall that is setup on an Active/Standby
Firewall goes to Core Switch
How would I go about configuring this for ISP A to be primary but if it fails, goes to ISP B? Different IPs, etc.
Thinking segementing the network to include the ISP A but on an Aruba Switch, how can I state go here with X Networks but if connection fails, route to ISP B with X Networks....
Brain is fried!
