Load balancing? which system?

pau123456 · ‎11-30-2007

Hello.

I have two DSL in my office. I want a router into which I can plug the two internet connections. The best way would be a load balancing between the two DSL.

I need a system that if one DSL stops working, the router automaticly uses the other.

The most important thing is that the office always has internet.

Which system should I use? Router, Router-modem, swtich...? And which model?

Thanks.

Hi,

Are the two dsl's from the same provider?

If yes they must aggree on the the configuration.

If not, and you have services that has to be reached from Internett, you cannot get full redundancy. The public IP adresses belongs to the ISP and cannot be routed in the AS of your other ISP.

Use NAT overloading and HSRP, then you will always get user access to Internet.

Thanks for your reply.

The dsl's are from diferent providers.

I have been reading about HSRP, and I think this will be good.

Which cisco router have this functionality?

Thanks.

Hi,

You could start looking at this example:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080093f2c.shtml

and this:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800945bf.shtml#conf5

Keep in mind that the configuration depends on if you have Provider Independent Addresses or not.
