Hi all,
My router is connected to L2 switch and then to 2 gateway/CE mpls router.
As shown below
So I have 2 gateway (10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3) for my overseas office network -> 192.168.30.0/24.
As I am inexperience, I want the setup to be as simple and straightforward as possible.
Can I do the following
Load Balancing
On the my "Office Router", i have created 2 static route with same AD
ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 track 1
ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.3 track 2
ip cef
ip load-sharing per-packet (on each individual exit interface)
-- Assuming both links are of equal speed and latency etc..
IP SLA
Setup IP SLA that pings 10.10.10.2 or the WAN interface of the PE MPLS router
Setup IP SLA that pings 10.10.10.3 or the WAN interface of the PE MPLS router
======================
So that when both links are up, I will load balance per packet via the 2 links (assuming we can accept out-of-order packets) - for load-balance
and
Use IPSLA to detect if the link is dead or too slow and let the traffic flow through another route -- for high availability
============================
q1) Is the above setup sound ?
q2) can load balancing occur among static route with equal AD/metric ?
Hope to hear more advises from gurus here.
Thanks.

Noob
