Hi,

How can i load balance 7 links in OSPF.

Thanks & regards,

Set max-paths to 7 (or 8). What version of code are you running? It might not support 8 paths as the maximum, so you might need to upgrade the box.

Hi Russ,

Thanks for reply,

Version 12.2 in my router as it is in MPLS i can't go for upgradation, It is supporting maximum paths 6 and loadbalencing is working fine in OSPF, there is option upto maximumpaths-8 but if iam putting-7th link with max-paths to 7 load balencing is not working.iam using load balence per packet on interface.

is there any other option in OSPF loadbalencing morethen 6 links with out upgradation of Version.

thanks & regards,

Nope--you could play with recursive schemes to get traffic across all 7 links, but the best way to do this is to put code on the router that supports 8 paths.
