my cisco 2620 router does not support IP SLA command. is ther any alternative?

ok, the above document describe extra features

you do not need al othe above features

in your case you need to make sure you have two default routes each one oint to one of the ISPS next hops

and see how nating configured in the above document you do ot need PBR or IP SLA for basic loadbalncing config

good luck

sorry, the config you put is incorrect

use the follwoing config instead of the one you post it

ip nat inside source route-map ISP1 interface FastEthernet0/0 overload
ip nat inside source route-map ISP1 interface FastEthernet1/0 overload

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 202.183.246.177
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 202.5.104.9

access-list 101 permit ip 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.255 any


route-map ISP1 permit 10
match ip address 101
match interface Ethernet0/0
!
route-map ISP1 permit 10
match ip address 101
match interface Ethernet1/0

you do not need a pool unless you have a range of public IPs allocated from your ISP to you and you wanna use it for all of the users when use the internet,  i used above the interface with overload keyword this will use the interface IP as the source over the internet for all the users overload will use diffrent port for each session.

in the route maps tyou used the internal interface while it supposed to be the external interface in each one ( match interface means match the exit interface !!!)

aslo next time do not put public IP address if you post any config just put x.x.x.x

compare it to your config and then compare it to the document i sent you above to understand the idea

good luck

Dear marwanshawi,

now it was working. but bit slower. some times it was not working properly. is there any necessary steps to take the load balancing working smoothly.
