How can Load balancing can be done in Cisco router ? using Cisco Express forwarding routing?

<p>I've a backbone router having two wan connections of different Bandwidths,many other Customer is landing in that particular Backbone router. I need to load balance each of the wan link without any problem to the customer.</p> <p> For eg: One wan link34 mb and other20mb, if one link is having18mb traffic automatically need to through the other wan link how can i do it?</p>

For the load sharing, use the ip cef configuration command along with the  ip load-sharing per-packet/per-destination interface submode command.

if you want to limit an interface to18Mb use the rate limite interface command

We can enable traffic engineering between both wan links and define a bandwidth threshold value so as to switch the traffic to explicitly defined path so that it will start sending the packet to the other WAN link to avoid the congestion on IGP preferred path.

Use Microtic system PCC (per Connection Classifier)

yes, cisco CEF which is Layer 3 switching technology used for Load Balancing, there are two main components of CEF operation (Forwarding Information base, and Adjacency Tables)

Use cisco Intilligent WAN for this it will give you lot of option to loadbalance the traffic based on various attributes.

1. availbility 

2. Bandwdith Availble

3. Destination etc.

 

For more information check for Cisco PFR solution in design guide.

Load balancing with two ISP links

 

interface FastEthernet0

description ISP1

ip nat outside  

 

interface FastEthernet1

description ISP2

ip nat outside

 

interface Vlan1

ip nat inside

 

 

ip nat inside source route-map ISP1 interface FastEthernet0 overload

ip nat inside source route-map ISP2 interface FastEthernet1 overload

 

access-list110 permit ip192.168.52.00.0.0.255 any

 

 

route-map ISP1 permit10

 match ip address110

 match interface FastEthernet0

!

route-map ISP2 permit10

 match ip address110

 match interface FastEthernet1

 

If you want to give priority to any WAN connection for any specific subnet you can use track command

 

ip nat inside source route-map ISP1 interface FastEthernet0 overload track100

Dividing single WAN (ISP) Bandwidth among two subnets. here consider30mb. Subnet52.0 will be using

30% of30Mb which will be9 and subnet192.168.53.0 will be using70% which will be21 mb. incase the assigned

bandwidth is not fully used by any subnet the remaing will be shared with other if other subnet limit reaches maximum

 

access-list1 permit192.168.52.00.0.0.255

access-list1 permit192.168.53.00.0.0.255

 

class-map subnet-a

match access-group1

 

class-map subnet-b

match access-group2

 

policy-map subnets

class-map subnet-a

  bandwidth percent30

class-map subnet-b

  bandwidth percent70
