We have 2 routers (3925) connect to the ISP through individual DS3 (T3) Connection. I want to ensure redundancy and proper load balancing. Sample configs and recommendations would be appreciated.

Considering the size of your infrastructure and speed acces, the best solution would be BGP.
In alternative, a load-balancing appliance between firewall and routers.
In either case, I recommend you hire a reputable consultant or certified cisco partner for the job.

Hello,
Please find below inputs
> Run HSRP between swich and two routers
> Run BGP between Router and ISP. I am just briefing BGP part below
> Let's assume you have one pool of /23. Divide it into two /24 parts
> Prepare three prefix list
ip prefix-list ISP-A-PRIMARY permit
ip prefix-list ISP-B-PRIMARY permit
ip prefix-list BACKUP permit
> Prepare two route-map for out direction
route-map ISP-A-PRIMARY permit 10
match ip address prefix-list ISP-A-PRIMARY
route-map ISP-A-PRIMARY permit 20
match ip address prefix-list BACKUP
set as-path prepend
route-map ISP-B-PRIMARY permit 10
match ip address prefix-list ISP-B-PRIMARY
route-map ISP-B-PRIMARY permit 20
match ip address prefix-list BACKUP
set as-path prepend
> Put this route-map in out direction with bgp peer respectively
neighbor x.x.x.x route-map ISP-A-PRIMARY out
neighbor y.y.y.y route-map ISP-B-PRIMARY out
Above will ensure load sharing between two ISP for incoming traffic. For out direction you can play with local-preference . It is much depends upon what
you are learning from provider end (default-route, Full BGP, Partial table)
Hope this helps

I am working in an ISP, facing a similar issue for a customer...
but the problem is the pool he's advertising is /24 one...if we divide further it will go to /25 & that is not acceptable in ISP's any suggestions???

Can any one update when the customer has /24 IP block.

Hi,
If customer is having /24 pool ISP will not accept in bracket of /25.
Now say If ISP agree on this then there is a way.
There are two approaches
1/ Accept /25 from customer and also ask customer to advt. /24 along with this. Advt. only /24 to upstream (from ISP) and hide /25 one. (no need to do
anything upstream will deny that).
So if someone on internet send traffic for first /25 it will follow /24 route and once that packet is entered the ISP network it will have two /25
route so once will be prefered.
Internet User------/24--------Upstream-------/24---------ISP-------First/25------CustomerA
|
|
Second /25
|
CustomerA.
2/ Next approach is customer advt. only two /25 and ISP itself advt. /24 by putting /24 route pointing toward null0 in one of his router.

Mahesh
