    How can I do a wan failover in MSR router if the routers doesn't have connection to both isp? What can be the possible solution here?

    Hi,

     

    Just looking at your diagram. I think you can use two solutions, the following:

    - Use tracking, see more details in link below:

    http://h22208.www2.hpe.com/eginfolib/networking/docs/routers/msrv7/cg/5200-3011_hi-avail_cg/content/index.htm

    - Play with route preferences

    But in this case your complete route must be gone. Tracking is much more dynamic

     

    In your diagram I can't see if you are using VRRP down or maybe you want to IRF your routers (that would be even easier I think). Since you need to make sure the clients will also follow the right path. 

     

    Hope this will help you!

     

    Regards, Dobias

    We're using VRRP for the 2 routers. So track can check if PLDT or Globe is down and automatically change the route to pldt or globe once the other is down?

    And they also want to load balance voice and data traffic thats why we used vrrp so that vlan for voice vrrp master is router 2 and vlan for data vrrp master is router 1

    Should we use vrrp, nqa for checking of internet and bfd for detecting if the physical status of uplink is up or down?
