Solved: IR829 configuring WAN load balancing

Andrii1 · ‎08-03-2022

Hello!

Can i configure load balance two isp? I have this question because datasheet (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/829-industrial-router/index.html) saying that router have only one WAN. But if i connect to LAN interface second ISP and try load balance, is it possible?

Hello,

yes it is absolutely possible. Keep in mind its all circumstantial. How you implement it will depend on what routing protocol you are running between you and tour ISP, what routes the ISP is advertising to your network just to name a few. Some protocols and configurations require remote configuration (ISP routers). This is less likely to happen and you will have to figure a way to manipulate your inside network.
