FireBrick 2700 Configuration run-through: Difference between revisions

Since each PPP connection will give the FireBrick a default route, the FireBrick will use both, and upload traffic on each ppp connection up to the speed given. The speed is in bits, so this example is where the upload is 1M.
If the upload is different on the lines, then that's fine - eg, you may have a line using Annex-A and one Annex-M. Setting the speed correctly will mean the correct amount of traffic will be sent up each line.
 
Our config now looks like this:
