Hi Harish

You need to provide more details on the following :

Internet links subscribed from same ISP or from different ISP

Public ip pool provided by the ISP/ISPs or your own ip pool

regds

Internet connections are from different ISP's

and the IP pool we have got from both ISP's.. if it is required we are ready to take our own IP's.

are using BGP with your ISP?

no we are using default routing.

Thanks..

Hi Harish

Can you try this and revert ???

ip nat pool ISP1 a.a.a.0 a.a.a.b netmask x.x.x.x

ip nat pool ISP2 c.c.c.0 c.c.c.d netmask y.y.y.y

!

ip nat inside source route-map map1 pool ISP1

ip nat inside source route-map map2 pool ISP2

!

route-map map1 permit 10

match ip address subnet1

set ip next-hop ISP1

set ip next-hop ISP2

!

route-map map1 permit 20

match ip address subnet2

set ip next-hop ISP2

set ip next-hop ISP1

!

thanks.. as per this.. it would take isp2 only if isp1 fails rite..? and more over I have only one subnet and if i do per souce load balancing , we cant acheive correct load balancing rite.. like if a source is using more bandwith, it always take same path..?

hi Harish

try the following

lets say u have the following subnet

192.168.1.0/24

u can devide it to two subnets for loadsaharing

192.168.1.0/128

192.168.1.127/128

acccess-list 101 permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.128 any

acccess-list 102 permit ip 192.168.1.127 0.0.0.128 any

access-list 100 pemirt ip any any

then

ip nat pool ISP1 a.a.a.0 a.a.a.b netmask x.x.x.x

ip nat pool ISP2 c.c.c.0 c.c.c.d netmask y.y.y.y

route-map isp permit 10

match ip address 101

set ip next-hop ips1

!

route-map isp permit 20

match ip address 102

set ip next-hop ips2

route-map isp permit 30

match ip address 101

set ip next-hop ips2

!

route-map isp permit 40

match ip address 102

set ip next-hop ips1

ip nat inside source list 100 pool ISP1

ip nat inside source list 100 pool ISP2

apply the route map to the router interface that connect to ur LAN

and let me know

good luck

if helpful Rate

hi Edwin

based on ur route map applied to nating lane

if the packet come from subnet one will match the line one nating statment and will use the orue map and go to the ISP1

if ISP1 down

how will will this line handel this issue??

u put the next line as ISP while the pool will be ISP1 pool !!!

if we make like

access-list 100 permit ip any any

route-map map1 permit 10

match ip address subnet1

set ip next-hop ISP1

set ip next-hop ISP2

route-map map1 permit 20

match ip address subnet2

set ip next-hop ISP2

set ip next-hop ISP1

then

ip nat pool ISP1 a.a.a.0 a.a.a.b netmask x.x.x.x

ip nat pool ISP2 c.c.c.0 c.c.c.d netmask y.y.y.y

ip nat inside source list 100 pool ISP1

ip nat inside source list 100 pool ISP2

and we apply the route map to the source or sources interfaces

so the distination dicision will be taken first then will be send to the corsponding NAT

Thank you
