Figure 12: Failover VPN topology using object tracking
Typical application – backup for the WAN FastEthernet interface
This typical application illustrates the use of object tracking as a backup mechanism for PPPoE
configured on the WAN FastEthernet interface. A track list monitors the state of the connection.
If the WAN FastEthernet interface is down, another connection is used.
In this application, the Branch Gateway is connected to an xDSL modem through PPPoE
encapsulation configured on interface WAN FastEthernet 10/2. The Branch Gateway is
connected to the Internet through the xDSL modem.
Note:
When using a broadband modem (either xDSL or cable), it is recommended to run the VPN
application.

Configuring the backup mechanism
Procedure
1. Define four RTRs to probe the four entrances to the main office.
Configure each RTR to run immediately and forever.
2. Define four object trackers to track the four RTRs.
3. Define a track list consisting of all four object trackers, and configure it so that if all
object trackers are up, the track list is up, and if two or less of the object trackers
are up, the track list is down.
4. Register the WAN FastEthernet interface with the track list.
5. Define Loopback 1 as a backup interface for the WAN FastEthernet interface.
