2610 with WIC-1ADSL & WIC-1DSU-T1 Operation

[wgellenberg]

Has anyone attempted to configure a 2610 router (NOT 2610XM) with WIC-1DSU-T1 (frame relay connection) and using a WIC-1ADSL as back-up with auto fail over if frame goes down? Also, is there a way to accomplish load balancing?

You can try the 'backup interface' and 'backup load' commands to see if you can do this. There are quite a few documents which explain them.

Hi,

Along with backup commands, you can also use the floating static routes. For eg.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/1 23

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer1 50

This is the metric which we will give. The packets will go from link with lower mtric, but if the serial 0/1 is down, the packets will go from interface dialer1, which is connected to ADSL interface. However, for load balancing, you need to put two default router, and under each interface put the command, ip load-balancing per packet , which will ensure 1 to 1 packet routing on each interface. You can do a search of "floating static routes" on the Cisco.com, for further clarifications.

Thanks.
