Can two Draytek 2830 routers be connected for failover?
If there are two Draytek 2830 routers, each connected via the WAN2 port to a separate VDSL service, both with a static IP using the same broadband supplier, is it possible to connect those two routers using the gigabit LAN ports via a switch, such that all connected clients can access the internet?
The idea here is that each router would act as a failover device for the other, so that if one broadband line failed, data would route via the one still working, and end users on the client PC's would not have to do anything manually (like connecting to a different wireless network). I side benefit might be that the effective doubling of download speed, but it is really automatic failover that I would like to achieve. I imagine one router would need to handle DHCP, but I'm guessing this is going to very complicated and beyond my limited knowledge.
Is this what is referred to as bonding? A BT engineer told me a couple of days ago that bonding two ADSL/VDSL lines was not possible.
If not the 2830, perhaps another Draytek model could do it?
Is this possible?
