Network configuration advice with leased line

jtp

Hello,

I have this configuration that seems kind of odd to me.

Site A and B are connected using a radio link (like a leased line)
The lan devices from site B use the internet connection of site A as the main internet connection, the backup one is to be used only if the radio link fails.
Right now it is working except some issues like an ip scan from the 2 lans not working.

I think there is a better way to configure this network. I was thinking of setting the radio link interfaces both as external, and set up a BOVPN between the two interfaces, if it goes down, the backup line for site B is used.
Is this a good solution to configure the network or is there a better way in your opinion ?

thanks

Hi @jtp

There's a few options for setting up VPNs with failover. See:

Setting up the radio link as an external can also work -- just keep in mind that you'll need to set up your SD-WAN policies to not use that as an internet connection in the event of failover.

thanks for the info!
