Internet High Availability

Samuel_EKUNDAR1 — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 08:53:33 GMT

I have a requirement to connect two Internet links to a check point gateway. In a way that one of the internet links is primary and the other is secondary.

I know this is easily achieved on an SMB appliance.

Is this possible on a enterprise appliance and how can I go about this?

There are several possible answers all of which need more information about the use case e.g.

- Quantum SD-WAN

- ISP Redundancy

- Dynamic Routing (BGP)

the use case is for ISP Redundancy

Yes but you did not state if the requirement was simply for outbound user access or for inbound access to servers or both etc

VPNs & NAT are additional considerations...

the requirement is for both inbound and outbound access

VPN and NAT is also a requirement especially for remote access VPN

Inbound access how, exactly?
VPN means using the ISP Redundancy feature as that will be needed to adjust Link Selection settings automatically (needed for the VPN to terminate on both nodes based on ISP).
