Hi Kerry, You are right, OSPF only supports 4 equal cost paths, and doesn't support unequal load balancing. The easiest way for you to address either of your options is to manually alter the ospf interface cost. Under the interface, add ip ospf cost xxx
Mkae this the same as the other interface if you want load balancing, or different (more on the FR interface) if you wanted active / backup configuration Kerry Ogedegbe [ MTN - Portharcourt ] wrote: > > Hello People, > We are deploying additional links as backups, and Load > Balancing in my > organization. > One of the links is on our SDH backbone, and the second link > is via > Frame-Relay through a service provider > We are running OSPF routing protocol.
