High availability Internet access – Multi-PPPoE

The third of the different basic sources of failures is the case where the gateways and connections are in order but the provider's own network is down. Such cases are handled by setting up multiple PPoE connections at the physical interface of a single device (Multi-PPPoE).

To define these backup solutions as alternative Internet accesses you can use, for example, the Setup Wizard to set up two Internet access accounts one after another. The standard Internet access for normal operations should be set up last. Consequently, the entries in the routing table will be associated with the appropriate remote site.

Additionally, an entry is made in the backup table that defines the alternative Internet access account as the backup to the remote site at the standard provider.
