Ok hopefully someones done this before.
We have 3 REDS at remote offices; and at the main ASG running the current version 7.xx we have two Internet connection running at 15/2mbps
We tested the REDS on the primary Internet link and they work fine. When we tried to use the secondary link they wouldn't communicate; as near as I could tell there was no way to setup an interface route to make that work like you would with a ASG to ASG vpn traditionally.
Since REDS only appear to support the primary link we went ahead and setup Multi-path which works great of course. But again the REDS only appear to support the primary link; if we target that IP it works; if we target the secondary it doesn't and lastly it doesn't seem to support both links at the same time; but I would have expected that last part.
We are proceeding down the multi-path route and are shifting traffic like SMTP and high traffic http targets like update.microsoft.com to go down the secondary WAN connection, but that stillis a lot of jockeying of settings. There is Voip traffic on the RED so that makes things interesting but we are working on the QoS to see if indeed works on the RED as others have said it will.
So here are the current questions.
1) Can the RED be made to work on a secondary wan link that is dedicated to just RED devices, aka did we just miss something obvious. All we did was point at the secondary ip like we would the primary and no joy.
2) Can the REDs use multi-path to talk down the secondary link and did we just miss something obvious. Aka setup a traffic selector to force RED traffic to use the secondary link when the connection comes in on that link.
3) Anyone found out if REDs can truly do QoS like a local interface can.
Thanks in advance.
