A leased line is a dedicated form of connectivity that connects your existing network to the internet via a reliable high-speed network. Unlike broadband, a Leased line requires your existing device(s) to be connected to a centralised network device (such as a network switch).

Unlike traditional broadband routers, our managed Cisco device will not provide wireless capability and if wireless devices are to be used on your network a dedicated Wi-Fi solution should be utilised (sold separately).

You will be assigned a /30 subnet IP range by default; this will provide two usable public IP addresses, one of which will be assigned to your Daisy router.

Daisy can look to provide a /29 subnet on request which will provide an additional 4 usable public IP addresses. Any requirements outside of this need to be highlighted as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as this will need to go through a bespoke process and Daisy cannot guarantee these will be approved.

In the case of a backup Leased line circuit, this will normally involve a separate Leased line solution being provided which will normally involve a secondary Daisy router (a single router solution can be provided where preferred).

ADSL or FTTC backup will normally work as an all-in-one solution but may involve the use of a secondary device depending on the bandwidth of your primary circuit.

Where multiple routers are used Daisy use a protocol known as HSRP which will involve both Daisy routers connecting to your centralised network switch (not provided).

Where a backup circuit is provided this will function in an ‘active/passive’ configuration, meaning that the primary circuit will carry all traffic and in the event of a circuit failure, traffic will fail over the secondary circuit. Throughput will be limited to the capacity of the primary circuit (and secondary in the event of a primary failure).
