cant get router to use fiber wan over DSL wan connection

Amills
Level 1
Level 1

So I got an odd one, I have two wan connections, one Fiber 50Mbps and the other DSL 7Mbps. EIGRP in the show ip route shows that it is learning all its routes from tunnel 11 including the default route, Tunnel 11 is the Fiber wan connection. 

 

The routers learn the default route out from the DMVPN hub and traffic then goes through the data center firewall before going to the internet. 

 

Even though the show ip route shows it is going to go out tunnel 11, speed tests show that the download is coming in from the DSL link and the upload is going out the Fiber link.

 

Router-namechanged#sh ip route
...

Gateway of last resort is x.x.x.x to network 0.0.0.0

D*EX 0.0.0.0/0 [170/26624000] via x.x.x.x, 1w1d, Tunnel11

 

The gateway of last resort IP is the DMVPN hub tunnel 11 IP.  Which is what I want, that is the fiber link.

When I do a speed test with both wan links up, I get 5Mpbs down and 41Mbps up, when I do a shutdown of the dialer and g0/0/1 I get 41Mbps down and 43Mbps up. 

 

So it would seem that the download traffic comes in the DSL link but uploads out the fiber link. I have more than 1 site that has this issue, a site with DSL and Fiber the download traffic preferring the DSL link even though the Show IP route says it should be going out tunnel 11, the fiber link.

But which control do you have over download traffic? 

For upload traffic, all you need is the default route, which in your case goes to fiber. But, if the download is coming through ADSL, you need to look at the Data Center, right?

What would I look at? I got EIGRP hubs setup at the datacenters. nothing in the config indicates it wants download traffic to go out tunnel 14, the tunnel at the spoke site on DSL. Its supposed to be setup to have everything go though tunnel 11. What EIGRP config would be missing? How can I tell what is used for up vs download traffic? I have never seen any documentation saying it traffic would be asymmetrical, in fact, everything I read claims EIGRP should figure out what is the best link based on the metrics but that doesn't appear to be the case.

". . . everything I read claims EIGRP should figure out what is the best link based on the metrics but that doesn't appear to be the case."

Indeed, what I believe @Flavio Miranda is trying to tell you, download traffic doesn't use your router's EIGRP config for determining best path TO your router.  TO IT depends on what's EIGRP configured on the "upstream" routers.

"I have never seen any documentation saying it traffic would be asymmetrical . . ."

Conversely, have you seen any (IP) documentation saying traffic is guaranteed to be symmetric?

You need to examine the routing topology, for your traffic, on the "other/up" side.

After checking the datacenters there was some wonky routing going on, I can test tomorrow from the spoke site if it fixed it.
