We've just added second Full T1 line to
this router to dedicate full T1 bandwidth our two database servers.We are still experiencing the slow performance to our remote location such as file copying and acceessing applications.below are configs and sh run.Any help and inputs are greatly appreciated.Is the router configuration correct? or need to be modified.Thanks
Danny.

Hello,
I assume what you want is load-balance your traffic over both T1 links ? I am not sure that this is happening with your current configuration. Can you do a ´show ip route´ and check if there are two paths to your remote location. If not, use the comand ´variance´ under your EIGRP configuration in order to enable load-balancing. The actual value of the ´variance´ command depends on the metric of the primary path, check this link for an explanation:

Also remember you have given preference for any voice traffic that may be running across that link at the time with your QOS setup , data is second in line . On your fastethernet check for any errors . I would set to whatever the switchsetup is , you have it as auto speed ,full duplex . Set it as auto for speed and duplex .

A couple of items worth noting are the QOS policies themselves.
This is OK
class-map match-any VOIP
match ip dscp ef
Add this
class-map match-any VOIP-signalling
match dscp af31
match dscp cs3
Change the policy-map to reflect the changes
policy-map VOIP-QOS
class VOIP-signalling
bandwidth 16
class VOIP
priority 24
class class-default
fair-queue 256
random-detect dscp-based
The bandwidth is meant for 4 concurrent phone conversations so adjust up as needed. The priority is based on my own testing so take it as you may.
The most important statement is "fair-queue 256", by default you only get 16 queues. Allowing for 256 queues only uses a modest amount of memory so its a simple low impact choice for the router and allows more conversations between devices without interruption.
Upping the number of queues in your policy would be the best and most important item for your performance problem, next of couse to coercing EIGRP to load balance the T1s properly.
Brian
P.S. Create a loopback interface for the ip unnumbered use, cause if the Fa0/0 goes down everything goes down and you can't telnet in from anywhere to look at it. Eliminate the following items from the config by using "no" in fromt of them, a bit of research will tell you why, and start you toward eliminating a few other items.
service udp-small-servers
service tcp-small-servers

Hi Danny,
you push your database server traffic through one T1 and the rest through the other T1 by use of PBR. Fine so far. There is nothing wrong with that, assuming your access-lists are ok. Are both servers really connected to F0/0? What about the return-path? Do you see dropped packets on the other end of your T1s? Do you also use PBR and sort out client traffic to the proper T1? Dropped ACKs could be really affecting your throughput massively.
Are you sure you do not run into other problems like TCP throughput (window size times RTT)? What is your roundtrip time? Do you see retransmissions for the slow applications?
Regards
Martin
