Load Balancing Multiple DS3s (outgoing) on a 7500

  • From: Drew Weaver

            Does anyone know of an article, or documentation regarding load balancing the traffic on 3 or more FastEthernet interfaces on the outgoing direction? Right now we're running BGP internally, and the routes that are being chosen based upon the final BGP decision step or what I like to call the 'IP address tie breaker' which is not always optimal. We have a cisco 7500 that is connected to 4 other Cisco 7500s which each have 45Mbps ds3s to the Internet, we would like to load balance the outgoing traffic across all 4 of these 7500s, can anyone shine any advice my way? I noticed that there are instructions on Cisco's site regarding doing LB on 12000s.

 

Anyways thanks in advance ;-)
