Hi..
I have a customer site with 2 connectivity, one is wireless and other is a serial line. How can i load balance between them.
thanks and regards

Hello Rajesh,
you can achieve load balancing,
with static routes
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serx/y
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 type z/k
with routing protocols you may need to adjust some parameters to have the two links used in the same way.
However, if the two links have different speeds it can be better to implement a scheme with a primary and a secondary link
with static routes
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serx/y 201
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 type z/k
let's suppose that wireless link has more bandwidth.
For OSPF you need to adjust the bandwidth parameter with interface command
bandwidth XX [kbps]
For EIGRP the better way is to modify delay with interface command
delay yyyy [microseconds]
With EIGRP you could also try to use the variance command to get weighted load balancing if the secondary link passes the feasibility test
Hope to help
