Redundant VPN ipsec tunnel using 2 dsl connections and a 1841 router?

Jun 29, 2005 0 Replies

hi there,



some quick questions. I have a 1841 router and a vpn connection build to another 1841 router. We have 2 networks on each site, each on his own subnet.



Now this all works fine with 3 ports on the router. 1 for internet, and



2 for the internal netwerk we like to keep seperated. (not a dmz).

Now we are thinking of adding 2 extra dsl connections on both sites, so we can have a little redundancy.


  1. Is it possible to plugin both dsl connections and create a automatic fail-over using these connections for the vpn tunnels?


  1. Is it possible to do bandwidth management using the cisco 1841 router for 1 of my internal networks? In other works, can i make sure subnet A will be higher prioritized then subnet B?

  2. Can i do stuff like, prioritize rdp and smtp traffic?

I'm familiar with the pix family, and the standard dsl routers... But this 1841 is a whole new thing for me and i'm just in the dark here with its possibilities... Any help would be greatly appreciated :) thnx a lot.
