how to configure MPLs load-balancing in 3850

[sri_ramg23]

Hello Guys,

i would like to configure 2 MPLS connection to be add in to 3850 as load-balance.

so that when primary MPLS goes down, automatically secondary MPLS connection will takes full charge of network communication.

request your comments and suggestions.

regards

the answer depends on how your setup is configured, but you can track the interface or other side gateway if not reachable you can take action to route traffic to another side.

but we need more information, how this is configured, any dynamic protocol? static routing? NAT involved?

a simple example may help you :

I agree with @balaji.bandi that we do not know enough about your situation to be able to give good advice. We need more information about how each MPLS will be set up, especially about whether any dynamic routing protocol will be used or static routes.

Also there seems to be some confusion about what you want to achieve. The title of your post mentions load balancing for the MPLS. But the description in your post seems to be about having a primary that will normally handle all of the traffic and a backup that will take over if the primary fails. Which is it load balance or primary/backup?
