Does GLBP work for this?

I have traffic coming into a 4948 switch with 2 ports going to 2 different 7200 routers.

There is traffic flowing from multiple VLANS.  One of these uses L2TPv3 tunneling to get to a far-end gateway router.

Each 7200 has a DS3 which connect to two other 7200s which connect to a 4948 on the far end.

Also connected to the far-end 4948 is the WAN traffic gateway 7200.

We are using OSPF within the network so the routers can learn where the Loopback interface of the far-end gateway 7200 is.

Right now traffic is only going through one near-end 7200 and through its DS3.

We would like to balance the load between the two routers and the two DS3s.

Is it possible to use GLPB to accomplish this?

I may not have explained this properly but would try and answer any questions in order to help someone understand it better.

I currently have live customer traffic so can't really "experiement" with it live.

Thanks,

Caryl

Yes you can do it.

The one thing is, if I understood well the near-end 7200 are conncted to the local switch and to the DS3 links.So the near-end 7200 are not connected back to back.

Having this in mind you should track the DS3 link or the existence of the lookback of the far end 7200 , in order to decrement the AVF priority. If not you will have a near-end 7200 as a black hole for some user's traffic in the case of link failure (DS3) or other.

You are correct there are no direct connections between the near-end 7200s.

I am working on a diagram to upload as well.

OK then , the main worry will be :

   -  near-end 7200 looses the connection to the far-end 7200 ( DS3 link, or other equipment /link on the path )

but it will still be the AVF . As a solution I think you can track ip route existence of the far-end 7200's loopback, and using this track you should lower the priority. This way if it looses the connection to far end will not be AVF.

   A better solution , i think , is to add a back to back interface between near end 7200, you will have a better redundancy.

OK, here is a network map and the appropriate configs.

I think I have all the IPs and VLANS changed to protect the innocent.

I tried to color code the configs but it was lost in the paste.

The near end routers do have a connection into the same switch so not sure why you think I would need another connection between them.

Thanks again for any insight into deploying GLBP to utilize the idle DS3.

I do know that there will need to be additional interfaces created on the 2nd path that are not there today.

Hi ,

My reason for the 2nd interface  between near-end routers is GLBP. If for example near-gw looses the connection with far-gw , it will still be AVF - being the gateway for some clients - as far I understoood from your setup is that the only routes that near-gw will have - beside those connected - will be received from far-gw. In the case decribed , you will not have any routes, so the traffic will be droped on this router (near-gw)

You can also activate ospf , on the interface's toward the clients.

Regards

Dan
