Move WAN IP blocks between prod and DR?

---

Hello, this isn't really a Cisco question, but seemed like the best place to post. Does anyone know of an SD-WAN product on the market that will allow you to move a WAN IP block between physical locations? Trying to avoid purchasing a WAN IP block directly and managing full blown BGP ourselves.

@Adam-Tyler,

Now, I could be wrong, it been a while since I've even talked about this with someone. But this is where you have to directly lease your IP block from ARIN or IANA or ICANN (I can never remember who actually does the leasing between those). Once you have your block, I believe you tell your SP about your registered block and they will use it...but having said that. You'll still have to manage BGP here and this must be done with care as you could route the entire internet through your routers.

Lets see if anyone else more current knowledge that I have on this!

Although I have not seen this as a specific use case - it seems like the Cisco SD-WAN should be able to help! I would recommend looking through the Cisco SD-WAN Design Guides!

Again, you will not see the specific use case you mention - but perhaps the solution offers features that will address your concerns!

@Anthony-Sequeira Thanks Anthony, I've been talking with an SD-WAN vendor named Big Leaf recently. Although they don't really advertise this as part of their core feature set, they CAN actually move an IP block between two different routers for you. Sounds like it takes a phone call into support and both routers have to be connected to the same POP. So if you have a DR facility on the other side of the country, it isn't exactly optimized, but possible.
