running remote sites despite network outage in central

ToBu
Hi evereyone,

We are running severeal remote sites equipped with RED10s. However the "hub" in this topology suffers from frequent outages of its internet connection.

When the VPN from the remote sites is down, users there have the tendency to unplug all network devices, to see if the connection comes back up.
However, this leads to the RED10s not connecting at all, and leaving the sites without DHCP, etc.
Is there a way to embed, the configuration within the REDs, so that even after a reboot, the configuration is still available, even if there is no connection to the UTM available. ?

Regards
Tobias

    Tobias, 

    The RED doesn't supply DHCP without the connection to the UTM.  It gets its configuration from the cloud, regardless of whether the UTM is currently connected.

    Can you justify another WAN connection from a different ISP?

    Cheers - Bob

    I probably could, but wouldn't I need some sort of load balancer, since I think, I can only add one FQDN/IP-address for the UTM during the RED's configuration ?
