Load balancing question

[vhashrjacksb2]

Hello,

I have 2 T-1's coming into a single 1841 router. On the 1841 I have NAT configured for the internal traffic destined outbound. The router is also running CEF.

My goal is to load share across the two T-1's. Will the following configuration work as desired?

int s0/0

description ISP1

ip addr 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252

!

int s0/1

description ISP2

ip addr 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.252

!

int f0/0

description lan

ip addr 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

!

!

ip nat inside source route-map ISP1 pool ISPONE overload

ip nat inside source route-map ISP2 pool ISPTWO overload

ip nat pool ISPONE 172.16.1.3 172.16.1.3 prefix-length 28

ip nat pool ISPTWO 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.3 prefix-length 28

!

route-map ISP1 permit 10

match ip address 1

match interface Serial0/0

!

route-map ISP2 permit 10

match ip address 1

match interface Serial0/1

!

!

access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

!

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.1.1

Thanks

Instead of

match interface Serial0/0

use

set interface Serial0/0

However, I prefer going with

set ip next-hop [ip at remote router's serial]

Thanks for the response. Since I am trying to load balance between the two T-1's I don't think using the SET statement will work will it? If I use the SET statement it will direct traffic out of that specific interface rather than load balancing between the two.

According to this URL, you are right

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the help but I took a chance and put that config into production and it worked perfectly.

Very nice.
