Backup RDP

[Guest JonALanning@gmail.com]

I have a two different ISP providers that come into two different

routers but both routers on the same network (192.168.1.0/24). I need

to be able to RDP to one server from both ISP's. If I setup gateways

to either router RDP works but if I have both routers hooked up and

both gateways in there it only works on the Primary gateway. Here is

a little beter picture of my nextwork and what I am trying to do.

 

 

ISP 1 ------- Router 1\ (192.168.1.1)

> Switch 0 ---- Server Wanting to RDP

to.(192.168.1.17 GW 192.168.1.1(1) 192.168.1.4 (50))

ISP 2 ------ Router 2/ (192.168.1.4)

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

 

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

 

For this I recommend you use a bandwidth aggregation

device. The device will connect directly to your two ISP

routers and your internal network and manage the traffic

between the three. You need to choose one that has the

ability to do what you need--making sure that connections

that come in from one ISP will go back out the same way.

 

I recommend that you contact each company and explain

to them *exactly* your needs regarding *incoming* connections

that must remain "sticky" to a particular WAN link. Some

of the products available are focused more on the other

side--load balancing internal users connecting to web sites

over multiple Internet connections.

 

There are many available so you will need to do some

research. Some manufacturers have evaluation models so

that you can try out the device and send it back if you are

unhappy. Other solutions are available that are software

based and will require a PC with multiple NICs for them to

run on. There are inexpensive ones based on Linux if you

are technically savy and willing to do the configuration

yourself.

 

For example, look at this manufacturer's Vector Routing

description as well as the diagram at the bottom of the page:
