I have been tasked to create a fail-over strategy for our small business. I have a 2610XM router with a 16 port ethernet switch card. All of my switches are non-managed and connected to the router (I wanted managed switches and setup vlan for the record). If my router dies what are some options I could use? I also have a pix 515e and IPS 4215.
My guess is creating a hugh IP scope on the DHCP server and change the Default gateway to the pix? I have a 4500 router in my basement collecting dust could I use HSRP with the 2610? Any help will be welcome. I dont see many outs
