All, We just had a second T1 installed on our 3600. Our first supplies about 20 spokes, sub-if, with various CIR's all running EIGRP with bandwidth statements. The second was provisioned via a different cloud path for redundancy. We want to "automatically" backup the primary spokes with the second T1. I can use the "backup" command but we already use this method for ISDN on some of the links, so were leaning toward a load-balancing solution. My main concern is due to the different provisioning paths the metric may be lower for the majority of the spokes on one of the T1's, thereby having an awfully lop-sided load balancing architecture. I could tweak these in via an Easter egg method, but that's a lot of work for what its worth. Is anyone running a similar configuration and want to shed some light? Thanks! _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
