Hi all,
As in the diagram attached
Router R1 Connected to ISP A using fiber optical cable
Router R2 Connected to ISP B using another fiber optical cable.
between R1 and R2 HSRP is running
lets say both ISP 's are giving 100 mb .
How can i acheive load balancing ?
Is there a way to bond to aggregate up to 200 Mb?
Thanks

Hi,
As per my knowledge, i dont think you can combine both with HSRP.
It would be better u use GLBP, as packet would reach both of the routers and Load sharing would happen (Not load balancing).

U need to put iBGP between R1 and R2 and use below config on both
!
R(config)#router bgp x
R(config-router)# maximum-paths eibgp 2
R(config-router)# bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax
!

One possibility is changing your HSRP to mHSRP. I.e. instead of just one virtual gateway, e.g. .1, you have two virtual gateways, e.g. .1 and .2. Each router normally has one of the virtual gateways active, the other as standby.
Another possibility is to use OER or PfR between the two routers. Unlike the mHSRP approach, which does static load balancing, OER/PfR performs dynamic load balancing. (NB: both can be used.)
Don't believe there's a way to bond links between two or your routers, to two different providers.
