uplink router load balance

rgomez — Wed, 18 Sep 2002 23:14:32 GMT

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to load balance the outgoing traffic from the server´s farm to the clients through several default gateways, or at least return the incoming traffic from their respective router.

There are several commands that sounds appropiated for this feature but I am not sure:

ip source-route

ip record-route

ip ecmp

Also It seems to me like a FW load balance configuration but without the external switch

Beforehand thanks for your comments

'ip source-route' and 'ip record-route' are standards ip feature (source-routing, record routes, ...) and will not help you here.

However, ecmp is the CSS routing algorithm that wil ldo exactly what you need.

That is you can have multiple routes for one destination and the CSS will use the one from which the incoming traffic came in.
