Load balancing

[AdilIhsan39479]

Hi,

We are going to move in to a office and for that I will be using 2 internet connections. I am looking for a cisco product that can help me with load balancing and providing almost 14 lan wires to computers. Each computer will have private ipv4 address but there can be only one static ip. 

Please share the recommendations and some sort of setup guide as well.

Thank You

hi
what speed are the circuits thats very important , are you going to use BGP with an ISP or are you just using static routes , that will then setup for what you need for load balancing , you can LB on any router just need to know hat your connecting to and the speeds so you can pick a router that can match it and provide the correct throughput

also is it 2 different isps or 1

a 24 port standard switch and a small router may do but depends on the specs

I am going to have one 5 MBPS line and one 50 MBPS line from different ISPs. I need to setup office in such a way that I will be able to give lan wire to every computer (irrespective of the number of computers) and support load balancing or some sort of filtering the traffic

[Mark Malone]

having unequal links wont give you great load balancing
You can do it with BGP as an option , you can also get very granular with PFR but it all depends what your device is supporting in license and software/hardware some are restricted

If you want basic LB just use static routes at equal costs in AD

Load Sharing When Multihomed to Two ISPs Through Multiple Local Routers

[AdilIhsan39479]

Hi,

I am going to get 2 different ISPs, one for 5MBPS and one for 50 MBPS. I want to allow certain IPs for 5MBPS and the rest of IPs will be routed to 50 MBPS line. I want to connect a 24 port switch after this router so that the IPs will work as I want them to. Is such kind of configuration feasible?

Please suggest the routers that can allow such configuration as well.

Thank You

Hi,

     The simplest solution would be to do PBR (so bypass the routing table) for the traffic you want to sent out the 5Mbps link (combine it with tracking so in case your next-hop fails you failover to the 50Mbps traffic), and use regular routing for traffic going out the 50Mbps link.

Hi,

Will you send me any helping article on that to read the configuration process and how feasible it will be?

Thank you

Hi

Please suggest some good routers of cisco which will have the capabilities of load sharing and PBR. Also share some helping articles to implement this configuration.

Thanks
