Hi routing experts out there,
I'd like your comments on a routing problem at our site.
We have a SifraNet line running to our ISP (Barak), and a FR line as
backup. For outgoing traffic, our Cisco router utilizes the two lines
equally, as it should. However, for incoming traffic only the SifraNet
line gets used, and the FR is totally ignored. Only when the SifraNet is
down for some reason, the FR gets used for incoming packets ad well.
After talking to our ISP, they claim that it's impossible for them to
route packets to us on the two lines simultaneously, unless we set up
dynamic routing using EIGRP on our router. This may well be true, if not
for the fact that it actually worked for a few months: Packets came in
on both interfaces simultaneously. Barak claimed this 'impossible', and
were sure out data (gathered with MRTG) is mistaken. I find that hard to
believe.
So: Is the scheme we want possible? If so, what exactly is needed on
behalf of our router? If it's not possible, how come it did work for a
while?
Any pointers to info will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gavrie.
