Re: debug output [7:42909]
Thanks for resoponding Kris; you also Johnny. I was working from a lab in the book for Cisco's Networking Academy, Semester 5, which covers the BSCN exam. I reconfigured my lab and finally got it working. As it turns out, RIP does automatically load balance equal cost paths. The lab scenario has three routers in a full-mesh, like a pyramid. The router at the top of the pyramid also has a workstation attached, that is pinging the network at the base of the pyramid. This is the only network that is not directly-connected to the router at the top. But when I had configured RIP as my routing protocol, I had included this network as one of my "network" statements. This somehow caused the router at the top of the pyramid to see only one route to the network, instead of the two routes that it should have had. When I removed the offending network statement, both routes appeared in the routing table, and my "debug ip packet" command showed packets going out alternating interfaces (with process switching"). Doh! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respond. My lab works; the Red Sox have the best record in the majors, and life is good.

There is no automatically load balancing with RIP, try what Johnny explained.

Did you put maximum-paths 2 under your rip config?

debug output [7:42909]
I've been trying to set up RIP load balancing, and although I have two equal-cost paths, "show ip route" only shows one of the paths. When I "debug ip packets", I notice the the "len" parameter's value is different for the two serial links to the target network. The output looks like this: IP: s=192.168.3.2 (Ethernet0), d=10.0.0.1 (Serial1), g=192.168.2.1, len 72 ... IP: s=192.168.3.2 (Ethernet0), d=10.0.0.1 (Serial1), g=192.168.1.1, len 52 ... As you can see, the "len" vlaue is different for the two paths. I should note that the target Ethernet network runs between a 2621 and a 2514. My questions are what is the "len" parameter? Is the difference in the values responsible for my inablility to load-balance? And can the len be modified? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this. I've searched the archives and the Cisco site, but I've been unable to find anything directly on point.
