2 - DS3's load balancing per-packet not working

jeff.vargas

I have 2 DS3's from point A to point B with both circuits in the same router at both ends. I have CEF enabled and I have the "ip load-sharing per-packet" statement on the interfaces but all of the traffic is only using one circuit. If I do a "show IP route" I only have the one Serial interface show up. If I do a "show ip eigrp topology" I see both interfaces in the topology table. Any ideas why this isn't working?

Do both DS3s come from the same ISP? Take a look at the metric under "show ip eigrp topology", is it the same for both links? If not, you will need to use "variance 2" under Router EIGRP xxx to add the second link to the routing table.

HTH,

Ah yes, the DS3's are from the same provider but have diverse paths resulting in a different metric causing it to be absent from the routing table. Thank you, I new it would be something simple. This looks much better.

Great! I am glad that worked out well for you. Thanks for the nice rating.
