Load balancing two T1's on 2621. Please help
|
|
|
| We are getting another T1 for one of our remote site which needs to be load balanced for traffic. At the remote site we have a 2621, in which we are putting two WIC cards. AT the main office we have a 7206 with a channelize DS3 interconnecting the two site. The new line will riding on channel four. The current IP scheme is that the interface at the head router and remote site router is on the same subnet with the default class C.
Here is what I am planning to do. Please let me know what you think. Any tip will be appreciated.
The new IP scheme will changed so that it is running the /30 mask. One of the interface on the head and remote site will be on one subnet and the the other two interface will be one subnet. (i.e. .1(head) and .2(remote) and .5 (head) .6(remote).)
At the remote site router we would add the following IP router statements:
ip router 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.1
ip router 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.5
Please advise. Would that work. | |

| Both going to the same core router? Yes it will load balance.

| it may not be 50 50 load balancing because it will probably do it per flow rather than per packet but it will work.

| This should work fine unless you have some kind of caching engine in your local net, once you put it there, you may have to consider enabling per-packet load balancing with CEF enabled. |
