I currently have a
Cisco 2811 with a Bonded Dual HWIC-1T 1, we have a full IP block of xxx.xxx.xxx.1 - 254
Recently the hard
line went out and our out of state warehouse lost access and couldn't put in
orders. The warehouse uses a unix server that has our server IP hard coded.
Lets say xxx.xxx.xxx.120. The warehouse enters orders via scan guns and it
comes directly into our server via that IP. They cannot change it easily. So it
always needs to be the same, the failover needs to be on the router.
Obvously when the
hard line goes down they can no longer get in.
The boss upstairs
decided that any loss of service was unacceptable so tasked me out to find a
solution, after talking to our provider (Sprint) wecame to the conclusion that
we needed a wireless backup.
They say this
wireless backup will allow the warehouse to communicate with our
xxx.xxx.xxx.120 server in the event of a T1 hard line failure. I still don't
understand how, but they say it will
However, they are
giving me the brushoff with configuring the HWIC-3G-CDMA-S card. I ask for a
quote on how much to install and configure and they come back with "too
expensive" $1500 or more, call a third party. It's almost as if they are
in cahoots with a thirdy party or something. I mean, it's their service, their
equipment, their plan...
My question is, can
I configure this myself with help from you guys here?
It's not actually in
the 2811 yet so I can't do anything right now but do I need to get a third
party inolved? I configured the Cisco
2811 dual bonded T1 with Experts-Exchange help so I figured I might be able to
do the same with the WS-X45-SUP7L-E -S card.
