/sorry for english language, my french is not suitable for any reader. But reply in french, that's o.k. for me.
Is it possible to configure an uplink as "hot standby" (or even "fail over"), so that the link is kept "up", but real traffic/load is only put on if the 2 other DOCSIS&ADSL fail?
(i had a look into https://www.ovh.com/fr/g2314.integration_dune_clef_3g-4g but did not identify a switch for this. Basically this is a "presales question", since we a considering purchasing an OTB due to unreliable EuroDOCSIS and very slow (2MBit/s) ADSL available here, but perfect 4G.. with forfait of 6GB/month)

Bonjour.
Il est en effet possible de paramétrer une connexion 4G en mode" backup", et vos deux autres connexions en mode "master", dans cette configuration, la connexion 4G prendra le relais que si les deux connexions en mode "master" ne fonctionnent plus.
Cordialement.

Merci.
what will be the fail-over-delay in such a case? Can "backup" be in hot standby and switched within 2-5 seconds?
(problem is, that we depend heavily on VoIP and staff does not like to drop out from conference bridges. Redialing in a conference causes annoying announcement to all participants)
Hello SilasG,
In theory, the switch is transparent for your device. It's a hot switch because the 4G access is constantly used (with no data in backup use, of course).
