Operation of DLSw+ Eth. Redundancy

I have 2 routers (CA-Rtr-1, CA-Rtr-2) connected to my Ethernet Network, both with a DLSw connection established.

I would like to have them load balance the circuits on my Ethernet segment. For example, with roughly 200 Ethernet users, I would like both routers to be responsible for 100 circuits each.

Can this be done? How?

Be careful how you apply Ethernet Redundancy in your design. ER was developed for use when there are two remote routers that need to provide redundant DLSw+ connectivity for LAN connected devices.

From your note it seems you might want to balance between two central peers. You can do this with dlsw load-balance command. It's hard to determine exactly what you are attempting to accomplish from your wording.

Take a look at the DLSw+ Design Guide Chapter 3.

It might be that you are trying to load balance at the remot side. Here, it might be best to look at segmenting your LAN.
