Hello,
We have a lease line for our internet using a Cisco 2851. We are soon to be getting a 2nd line which we would line to use and load balance the lines, how can we do this? I was thinking of getting a 2nd router and creating a HSRP but wouldn't this then act as active and standby?

Hi Andy
For Ethernet , You can do load balancing using routing.
If you SP is agree to run routing protocol then you can use any routing protocol for load balancing. ( Prefer EIGRP)
Or else you can add two default route with same AD.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 X.X.X.X
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 X.X.X.X
