Guys and Gals..... I didnt receive one response to this.....is this because it is not possible, or just too difficult to implement???? Any response would be appreciated. Thanks Douwe Gday everyone!!!! Setting up a lab, and following on from my last email about the maximum throughput using a DCE-DTE cable on a serial port achieving a maximum of 4mbps. (DCE serial port set with clockrate 4000000) Now....obviously the speed is a little slow, so I decided to buy a second cable to hook up to the second serial port on both routers and do a little load balancing. Having never configured load balancing in this manner before, I went looking through the cisco site to see what I could find. The only thing I could find was "Multilink Via Virtual Template on 2 Serial Interfaces". I guess ultimately this will achieve what I am after, but it not the same method of configuring that I would have used. Has anyone had any success with loadbalancing 2 serial ports for a lab environment? I guess there are a number of issues that come to mind...and if any of you have any thoughts, experience, or good sites that I could visit, I would be grateful. Do I need to setup a lookback address for each router, and assign each serial port to use ip unnumbered and the ip address of the loopback? Is this the best way to get the load balancing to work? I want permanent load balancing so that the full 8mb is permanently available to all traffic. Obviously I need to set the load threshold to 0 or 1 (I cant quite recall which one)? If I allocate an IP address to each interface, and I am using static routing...do I need to reallocate the routes to the new interface? Sorry if some of these questions seem obscure, but you know how it is when sometimes you are looking so closely at something that you fail to see the bigger picture.
